Lawn Tractor Dual Rear Wheels?

edited May 2010 in General Discussion
Just bought a new John Deere Z445 zero turn mower but the ditch in front of my house is too steep for it. Just sold the 48" shredder for my JD 2210 coz it was such a pain to put on and off. I had a JD LT150 and it would do the job but was very tippy.

Thinking about getting a beater riding mower and putting on dual rear wheels and maybe weghts in the rear wheels to move the CG lower.

Ideas?

    Sounds like a very good plan.
    Maybe some water in the tires as well.

    Would grading the ditch be a cheaper option?
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Steep ditch + 1 leg + pushmower = 0 legs.

    Yep, that should work and the water in the tires ideal would help on top of that. You should be able to find a older beater mower for 200 or less.
