Possible Causes

Worn wheel treads, Lawn too wet or muddy, Excessive slope, Incorrect weight distribution due to accessories

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before freeing it from stuck positions.

  • Inspect wheel treads: Check for worn or smooth tires. Replace drive wheels if the tread is significantly worn.
  • Avoid wet mowing: Schedule mowing when the lawn is dry to improve traction.
  • Reduce slope exposure: Re-route the boundary wire to exclude steep or slippery areas.
  • Remove extra weight: Remove non-standard accessories or loads placed on the mower.

Persistent traction issues on moderate slopes may require new drive wheels with better tread.
