Default Lawn mowers on slopes and hills

long rope with a wooden handle on the end so that it can be 'lowered' over
the berm and retrieved. Works really well.

I had a friend with a setup like that 30 years ago. it was about a 40
degree slope with a 20 foot drop. He used the rope on the mower
handle too.
