Buried the Exmark Mower Testing it in Tall grass & mud. (Have you seen this thing yet?)

What happens here

Lloyd elaborates on a critical improvement: superior hillside stability. This is achieved through a multi-faceted design approach. Firstly, the engine is positioned both lower and more centrally within the mower's frame, directly between the drive wheels. This significantly lowers the center of gravity. Secondly, the operator is also positioned between the wheels, creating a more integrated and 'sticky' feel to the machine, enhancing confidence and control on slopes. Thirdly, the tires feature an aggressive tread design that further improves grip. Lastly, a carefully integrated suspension system ensures operator comfort and stability, minimizing bumps and vibrations while maintaining firm contact with the terrain. These combined features mitigate the risk of slippage and increase overall safety and performance on inclines.

Goal: Understand how the new design enhances stability on hills and improves the operator's control and comfort.
