My "Hill Queen" is a Husqvarna 46" twin blade conventional. The design of the deck has good sweeping action and it seldom clogs nor needs cleaning, even when the grass is slightly wet. They sell them at big box stores (Lowes for one), and now with V twins, rather than the failure prone 20 HP Kohler Courage single, they are a winner. They even upped the hp by 2 on the current Kohler V twins......course it has plenty of power and speed with the 20. This time of year there are super end of seasons buys. Mine is over 10 years old and other than the engine, which an ebay 20 BS V twin fixed that problem, it has served me well.
I spent a lot of time and money on tire types for traction and studded snow ATV tires grip the best for me. I have studs on the front and rear because with the front studs you can control your direction...they dig in, not slide like turfs. Ebay is full of great tires for the purpose.
The conventional is light as compared to the ZT (I have a 1000# and 1300#ZT) and I remove the hood for even less weight....it serves no useful purpose. The conventional also allows you to sit "side saddle", aka up on the side of the seat on the uphill side where you can sit erect and apply your weigh to the upper tire for better traction, rather than it wanting to lift up and loose traction. Weight on hills is your enemy, no brag just fact. I find that mowing along the grade vs up and down makes for a much faster, easier, cleaner cut with my queen!
