A few weeks ago I received a new Lighted TiltMeter Model #25L to try out courtesy of Rick at R&B Manufacturing, the makers of the original TiltMeter.

Fist first impression of it when I opened the box was very positive. It is very well built and looks like it will last forever. The bubble movement is dampened for a true readout unlike what a regular level would do on a tractor bouncing around. The hardware that attaches the meter to the mounting base is stainless steel, but unfortunately the other hardware included is not. Very high quality 3M tape is also included to attach the base-I am using that for now but will drill holes later if needed. The mounting base articulates enough to provide very flexible mounting in any position, and is very sturdy when the bolts are tightened down. Approximately 12" of wire is included for the light hookup-I did however add the heat shrink to about 8" of it to provide a more finished look where you can see them.

Once installed and wired, I was very impressed by how well lit the unit is-it is very easy to read while lit also. Attached are a few pictures. Thanks agian to Rick
