I recently took delivery of a BX2200 and after mowing a couple of times on the "back bank" of my property I began to wonder how safe it was because of the "pucker factor" being present. So, after reading some post I ordered a Inclinometer from R&B Mfg thinking that it would calrify for me if I should be concerned on the "back bank". After installing the inclinometer this morning I set out for the slopes to see if I was being overly cautious (my first real tractor). I know that according to the meter and it's markings, one should not exceed 15 degrees of slope. But I also realize that they MAY be conservative as too keep away from the sue happy citizens of America. Here is what I found, on the slope on the front of my property where I feel completly safe and comfortable it read 12-14 degrees. On the "back bank" it read 19 degrees but at a 15 ft "pucker section" it read 23 degrees.
* The meter is saying NO! But I'm saying (?) heck I've done several times already.
Based on your experiences I would like to know what your thoughts are on mowing on these slopes. Have I been lucky and now foolish OR do others mow on such slopes without having problems?
Thanks for your Help,
Brent
