I took an 8 foot long 2x4 and a 36 inch level. I put one end on the grade and measured the other end to the ground. My first levee measurement was 2.4 feet. Which is .3 rise per foot and the calculator said this was a 30 % slope. On another levee, the 2x4 measured 2 foot. This is .25 rise per foot and a 25% slope.
The highway department mows a rural 4 lane highway in my area. The 2x4 measurement was 2.75 foot. The rise per foot is .343 and the slope is 37%
I know the AHD mows different angles or slopes, and they do not mow from top to bottom. My pond levees are pretty consistent in slope.
Someone can check my figures.
I feel I cam mow this with any of the tractors I am looking at? Case makes a Farmall 75C Straddle that has a low center of gravity, but I feel this may be out of my price range.
