Running a 128 Cadet with ordinary old Carlisle turf tread and it does a really good job except ditch banks--then I just shift my weight to the high side. Got an 1811 with ags--that thing will go anywhere. It bites the ground so good I think it would roll over before it even thought about sliding. Heck it has so much traction you don't move the hydro lever real fast or the front end will pop up.
If I remember correctly your mower doesn't have wide and stout fenders so shifting your weight isn't really an option on hillsides.

I'm in the Piedmont area. My back yard is fairly slopped. Not that bad, but if I stop on the hill I generally can't get going again and if I'm towing anything, I need to get moving at a pretty decent speed to get up it.
Would ags be bad for the lawn? My primary purpose for this is mowing the lawn, so I wouldn't want to get any tires that would be too hard on that.
