A lawn mower may shift out of gear going downhill due to several factors, including a worn or improperly adjusted transmission, which can lose engagement under the force of gravity. Additionally, if the mower is equipped with a safety feature that prevents it from operating in unsafe conditions, it may disengage to avoid potential damage or loss of control. Loose or damaged linkage components can also contribute to this issue, disrupting the connection between the engine and the drive system. Regular maintenance and inspection can help mitigate these problems.

How do you put a zero turn mower with hydro braking system into neutral in order to push it up a hill after it has broken down and will not start?

With the zero turn mower with hydro braking, a person will have to have one person sit on the mower and push in the clutch and shift the mower into neutral. The mower will have to be pulled uphill with another vehicle, not pushed. Do not put in neutral until a taut line is extended to the towing vehicle.
