Percent vs degrees

Slope ratings mix two units. A 100% slope rises one foot for every foot across, which is 45°. So 80% is about 38.7°, and 30% is about 17°. Use the steepest part of the lawn the mower must cross, not the average.

The slope guide shows how to measure it with a phone, and the calculator filters by it.

What else matters on hills

Wet grass reduces grip, and edges of slopes are harder than the middle. Husqvarna, for example, rates its Husqvarna Automower 440 iQ for 45% inside the lawn but 15% at the boundary (Husqvarna specs). If your steepest bank sits at the edge, leave extra margin.
