My 5' drum mower does a fine job here in S.E. Ohio. We mow several reclaimed strip mines and they are all pretty steep hills. Mine is either mounted on a 165 or 255 Massey & they both do ok with it tho the 165 can get a little light on the front and light on power on some of the steeper hills. Sometimes you steer with the brakes LOL. I wouldn't go back to a haybine or cutter bar This pic of my neighbor on the 255 shows a little of how steep it is. We have to either bale it square or go to the top or bottom with the rounds to keep them from taking off for the woods when we kick them out LOL.
