Ditto on LeilaniDude's recommendations. If it is really hilly and quite a bit of side slope mowing take good note of the wheel track width to height of equipment, with consideration of where heaviest components center of gravity is hopefully in the lower 50% range of height. If the specs give maximum slope, be sure to do the homework. Tire traction is another consideration, can always fill the rear tires with water for extra lower ground weight.
If not, try to get dealer "on sight consultation", or a "try out" to see if it will do what you expect. I have done side slope work where I was going more downhill sideways than it seems forward where I couldn't fit a business card between my cheeks, but still completed the job. I now prefer jobs where I won't spill my "road soda"!
