Does anyone have experience using this on a hillside? Specifically, will this work on a 45-degree sloped hillside?

Works very good. We have a lawn and landscape business. We bought 30 of these last summer and used them on a hill. Worked great

It does work on a slope, although the most I have used it on is about 30 degrees. The bag will lean against the trunk, but the majority of the weight is low and it drains relatively quickly. You might want to tape up the downhill seep hole on the bottom of the bag.

If you are using a Treegator® Original bag on a sloped surface, make sure that the zippers are on the uphill side of the slope. This will allow the bag to drain properly every time it is filled. If you are using the product on a slope greater than 25 top 30 degrees, you definitely want to make sure that the planting is properly staked, and ensure that the bag will not be too heavy when leaning on the trunk (particularly when using on trees from 1 to 2 inches in trunk diameter)

I have this one and my yard is not level. I haven't had any issues with it.

Have not used it on much uneven ground it will function on unlevel ground ok by just turning the legs to fit terrain. seems to function as well as the more costly ones.

My driveway also slopes up here in the Colorado foothills. Although I have used this machine only once last week, it did perform well working uphill. That said, it did struggle a bit when running into compacted snow after a car had driven up and down the driveway. So it is best to use it on fresh snow, before any vehicle drives over it.

I think its designed more for a horizontal or slight slope than a vertical mount. Try some chimney strap mounts.my .02, good luck.

On a flat surface, probably won't work as well as say a hilly area. You would definately have to "grease" it up quite a bit to be able to achieve sliding properties. We used it on a slight hill, and had some problems getting it to slide the entire distance. But, regardless, the kiddies sure loved trying it out, so good luck!!! : )

I'm sorry. I cannot help you. I live in a city. I can tell you, it does not work well in snow on a slight incline. Cardboard worked better for me. I hope someone else can help you.

I'm honestly not sure that only 3 inches in the ground and 9 above would work well on a slope; possibly not enough below to keep it from giving way to water or earth pressure.

My backyard has a hill with a 30 degree slope across the entire width, and I haven't had any problems with the walking sprinkler. Just make sure you set up the hose track properly to minimize sharp turns. This sprinkler has some nice weight to it and is able to get enough traction to manage ups and downs.

The site is sloped but I have been able to rack the slide off the site. It's not ideal but it will work.

I have used mine in all snow levels and conditions and it work great. I adjusted the height so it can clear snow all the way down to the concrete. When clearing 1"-2" of snow I basically use it like a plow.

Yes. Our general contractor installed it but he had to play around with it by adding washers. We have a pretty deep slope about 45 degrees.

I have a couple of those hills too. A lot of the hills in my area are in the 45 to 60 degree range. The bike handles them beautifully. Put it in low gear before you get to the hill. Be prepared to pedal. You can do it. I love this bike.

I personally am not using the Treegators on steep slopes, but according to the FAQs on their website it says: A Treegator Original can be used on a hillside or steep grade. However, the bag must be positioned with the zippers on the uphill side of the tree trunk, with the front of the bag facing downhill. This will allow the bag to empty properly.

Our yard is fairly flat so cannot answer with certainty. I'd assume the placement of the unit would be the thing, even if you had to place it on the ground. It would also depend on the amount of incline.

I believe the instructions says it must be mounted vertically. I feel that if it were mounted at an angle of 45 degrees it would work fine.

We don't have a hill at all so we placed it on a slight slope and it worked great.
