Independent rankings
Mowers rated for gradients of 45% and steeper, ordered by the gradient the maker publishes, steepest first, with the rating on every row.
Ordered by the gradient the maker publishes, steepest first, with the weighted score deciding between equal figures; only machines rated for 45% or more appear, and each row prints its rating. Slope ratings are the specification most often stretched in marketing and most often discovered the hard way, so read the figure as the maker's claim and not as a measurement of ours. The all-wheel-drive ranking is the drivetrain view of the same ground: it lists every all-wheel-drive mower whatever its rating, where this page lists every machine rated for 45% or more whatever drives it.
