Hi everyone,
I want to be safe if I get that tractor!
Rolling over is a big concern. I don't find anything published on specific brands/models of tractors illustrating things like where the center of gravity is, or what the maximum safe tilt angle might be, and so on.
Now I realize why the manufacturer would not publish certain things that might "encouage" a purchaser to use his tractor on anything but tabletop flat land.
I never knew my limits at a lot of things until I exceeded them in the past...but I don't want to learn the capabilities of a tractor that way...might not be there to remember after the fact.
Just seems like having a meter to tell you the slope angle, when you don't know at what angle the danger range begins at, does not really offer much.
And given the variability of having attachments on that change the center of gravity for better or worse...
Well, I guess on this one, this novice has concluded that his butt may be the best, most dependable indicator danger on the slopes....I guess you guys call that the pucker factor?
Am I missing something?
