Has anyone ever used this on a yard that has a slight slope?

Yes, we do. We found the flattest heart of the slope and put the machine on it. It seems to work just fine. We are really glad that we bought this machine.

Not sure how slight the slope is, but if the slope is not more than a degree or two, you should be able to use the adjustments on the machine to get the ball in the strike zone. The various speeds and distances are controlled by moving the pin from one slot to another. There is also a micro-adjustment that uses a screw to make minor adjustments. I use the micro-adjustment very frequently if you want to move the ball around the strike zone.

I personally haven't tried the pitching machine on a sloped yard, but after having the machine I wouldn't worry about a slight slope. The front base of the machine has 2 pointed things that you push in the ground. It digs in good and doesn't move when you're using the machine. You'll need to adjust the pitch based on the slope.

The slope should be no problem. As for bumpiness, my yard is slightly bumpy and it mows okay. I don't see how another mower would fare better.

I think it depends on the angle, I have a 30 degree slope and it's great. Unless you have a super steep pitch you should be good.

Yes. Yes I have. I lowered the blades and it did not make a difference. It seemed to barely cut anything and when opening the grass catcher it had almost nothing in it. I ended up going back to gas and couldn't be happier. I bought a troy built with a grass catcher for 199 and love it!

my yard was on a slope so I went to home depot and found som screw in stakes just to be sure .... it didnt wobble when it was up without the stakes but just to be on the safe side i would reccomend them for anything over a 20 degree slope

I have used it on some steep inclines with success, but not on a steep hill, so I can't say for sure. Just bear in mind that this isn't a heavy duty lawn mower. It is primarily an environmentally friendly lawn mower.

We don't have a hill in our backyard. I would call it a modest slope. I'm guessing it would work well on a flat lawn though, especially if you have room to get a good running start. Some of the smaller kids didn't quite make it to the end of the slide but the kids around ages 11 - 12 had no problem doing so. Hope that helps.

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

Barbara, This lawn mower is not self-propelled. However, I don't have any problems with it doing my yard. It is kind of difficult to answer your question as I don't know what your physical capabilities are. This is definitely the lighter of the two larger models of GreenWorks mowers and it works great. I would say if the slope was not too great in your yard there shouldn't be a problem. I hope this was of some help.Nancy Winslow

I did and it worked great. The "Pro Edge" feature let me spread seed right up to the non grass areas with no problem.

Yes, that is what I have also and it is really easy to use to cut that back that tough grass. I cut an angle so it leaves a little trench along the side walk and stays neat almost all season.

Our driveway has a slight slope to the street and it hasn't been a problem. You just have to make sure the ball doesn't bounce away ;)

I haven't yet. I've used it two seasons so far on a manicured 1/3 acre lot.

I didn't see one on this one. but i have very high inclines but lawn mower doesn't bog or die down.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

I never even thought about that. I've already installed mine and from what I can remember, it is symmetrical so it doesn't matter which side faces the mulch. Hover, it comes rolled up and has natural curve so you want to lay it to maintain the curve rather than bend it the opposite way from the curve. As a result, you don't have a choice which side faces the mulch and which side faces the grass - it depends on which one is on the "inside" of the curve of the edging. I suggest that you leave it in the sun to warm up so that way it is then easier to unroll.

I've used it on an uneven hard surface (we've got a really hilly/uneven backyard) and it held up just fine. I hope you enjoy!
