yes, just like ZTR you have control of back wheels(which may take some getting use to) and the both pull. But, still top heavy so the slop can't be as steep as zero turns IMO which have lower center of gravity. IMO other than that should be about same as zero turns features.

I've had the same problem on steep hills with the mower I have. I would be worried the controls wouldn't be gradual enough on a wheel system like that. I'd like to hear this as well as I have been looking at one myself
