A 40-degree slope is no place for a tractor. Besides the fact that you'll probably starve the rod bearing of oil, that's a dangerously steep slope.
However, I doubt your slope is actually 40 degrees. If you can measure the length of the slope from the garage to the flat area of the yard and get a reliable estimate of the height of the floor of the garage above the yard that it slopes into, you can calculate the actual slope, at which point you can make a more informed decision about whether or not to drive up and down it. I believe the Kohler manual says that you should avoid slopes steeper than 15 degrees. Or maybe it was 30. Either way...you should measure yours first.
