Charlie I bought one of those Spin Steer, and they don't steer on a hill, but for $600 with less than 300 hrs, I couldn't pass it up. Been a great mower, one of the best mower decks I have ever used. Even though I have a hill, for the money I would buy another one. I had a 52 inch Cub Cadet Z something. Also a darn good mower for $2800 or less. Paul
