Default Re: NEW DUAL AXIS SLOPE INDICATOR

Rick,
Just went on your site and do not see the 25SDA available for online purchase. Is it ready for sale yet? I think it is just what I need for peace of mind on my hilly 5 acres...(see photo)

Hi GaryG,
I think Muhammad will have the 2x on TBN site soon.
BTW, love your picture. Looks like a cool place. Have you
thought about trading the tractor for a billy goat??? Just
kidding! The 2x will have a limited number available at first,
and will have a special introductory price not available
anywhere except to you guys on TBN. Thanks Gary, Rick

Rick,
That is why I need your little device. All my land is not that level. I am planting trees and ground cover on all the slopes. I'll watch the store for your tiltmeter. Thank You

Rick.....hope the fishing was good........and Brenda didnt skunk you........

Just put the dual axis to the test today........10-25 degree slope for 5 acres. Part in pasture and part in the woods......couldnt really turn around in the pasture and went on up through the woods clearing it out till I could tell from the vertical axis that it was okay to turn and make a horizontal move...........SO good to KNOW what one is doing instead of just PRAYING more than normal for HIS grace.......thanks .........Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Yes, Brenda caught the biggest and most AGAIN! BUT, I am
the one that showed her what lure to use, and where to cast
it. Seriously, she is pretty good. Where was she when I was
fishing tournaments? Would have made a good team.
Now, how did the dual axis part work for you? I realize the
pendulum is not as stable as the ball, but is it helpful in your
operation? My hope is that the dual axis part compliments the
ball indicator, and combined, they make a good tool even
better. What is your opinion? Thanks, Rick

Rick.......the dual axis is what I am referring to as the horizontal and vertical...........NO the ball (actually the line on your new what I call vertical device) doesnt bounce around to much because I am going verrrrrry slowly on the hills and turns.........I call it the vertical axis because it measures my up and down plane.............
Accuracy of installation is totalllllllllllllllly..........TOTALLY critical......My whole property is on a hillside so finding a level spot is really hard to do..........I need to find someplace to do this properly as my horizontal reads heavy on one side and when traversing the same slope it reads differently at the same spot..........in the vertical axis I KNOW that I am off by 3-4 degrees..........so what do I do.....mentally compensate until I do it right.........
When mounting I had a hard time getting the total unit where I could see it; the old unit is angled at maybe 10-15 degrees from straight up and down......I took the new vertical device off carefully and used the double tape and placed it at "true" vertical.........Hey a thought!!!!!!!.........how about putting a surface on the end of the horizontal device.....maybe an inch or two square of plastic........the consumer mounts the horizontal device where they need and want it..........then......THEY ......using the excellent douple sided tape you supply, place the vertical device on this plastic surface where they can see it........at they angle they need to achieve level...........anyway......THANKS.......again.... ..the best use is for when going up hill KNOWING that you can safely turn around..........Dennis
