My yard is a little sloped and the ground is a little uneven (bumpy). Does anyone know if this mower will work well with that kind of lawn?

I love the mower myself but my yard is smooth. I would not even try to use this type of mower on a bumpy yard. The mower is dependent on the wheels touching the surface to run the blades. Now on a smooth yard it is awesome. I would go electric or gas if my yard were bumpy. A slope would be no problem..I rolled my yard years ago and maintaing it with a roller as well.....Hope this helps

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.

so is mine, I have not noticed any problems, may have to go over a few spots twice.

My yard is a bit flatter but has some bumpy uneven spots. It works ok. The only problem you'll have with this mower is hitting weeds, the mower DOES NOT DO weeds. Blades are very sharp though and I was surprised at performance to cut the yard...hope that helps;)

If you self propel then really a flat lawn is fine. We added a little liquid dish soap and it was very fast and fun. In my experience I believe that it will work on a flat surface but I havent tested that.

It tends to spin out on uneven grounds but we just help it along ! If it's a smooth path it will do fine it does great in the gravel on the grass or on pavement !

Yes! I have a different variety of grass in each separate area of my yard, and the reel mower does especially well in the areas with thicker grass like St. Augustine.

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.

It works very well on uneven ground.my wood pile is 50 yards from the house on a down hill slope.You just have to cut your wood to match the width

I use my lawn cart on a long sidewalk. I couldn't really say if it would work well on inclines or bumps. I've used it on the lawn by the sidewalk and it's fairly manageable. I'd think something sturdy with bigger wheels would be more appropriate. Hope that is helpful.

Should easily adjust to the cutting level you want. Model is hard to push smoothly over slightly rough ground. Suggest you buy a self propelled model or at least one with larger rear wheels to make it easier to push.

It should work fine as long as it is not too bumpy. My yard is comparatively glad but does have a few lumps in it. The mower is fairly heavy and the main wheels are big enough that it smooths out the bumps. Despite the weight the mower pushes pretty easily once you get going. I would definitely buy it again knowing what I do after using it for several years now.

It handles slightly uneven terrain well. My yard has some big holes and a few slopes that it can take care of with little problem. I might have to go over a spot or two a second time hre and there, but over all no problems.

I'm thinking no. More of a hand truck tire/wheel. Probably not heavy duty enough for zero turn mower. Also likely too hard for soft turf.

I have never adjusted my mower down because it cuts my grass really short as it is. But I would say that it would Be as close to anything you could purchase to get the short cut you are wanting. I love mine and the close cut it gives my lawn.

my property is not flat either and it works great. The grade of the land won't have much affect. The sprinkler is quite heavy and has some pretty good teeth on the wheels. What will have more impact is the amount of hose it starts to drag behind after a couple hours.

It is wider then my mower and will not turn at right angle. But being wide enough to cover the area. I have an acre and had no problem other then tree roots.

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
