"Motor In Wheel" Hillside Mower MOWERS Mowers (31H) 30-1-10 An innovative hillside mower that can hold its ground on steep mountainside fields earned a gold medal for innovation at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany.

The machine can cut up to 11 ft. at once on 60 degree slopes.
The company plans to start manufacturing it in Europe in 2006.
