Run your mower parallel to the slope if you want to mow up and down the hill directly. The better is if you can use a self-propelled mower. Make sure you set the mower in a place where it won’t be disturbed, wear shoes that have good traction, and put it in the slowest speed you can.
If you are using a tractor, make sure that the tractor is set up so that it does not interfere with mowing the grass. The best way to do this is to put a piece of plywood on the side of your tractor. This will allow you to move it from side to side as needed.
Also, if you have a trailer, you may want to use the trailer as a guide to help you move the tractors and mowers.
