I just received a Model 25C tiltmeter from R&B Manufacturing for my B3030, and I have two questions:

1 -- Where is the best place to mount it? I'm guessing it may be the vertical left FEL support. I'd prefer not to drill holes in the hood or anywhere else, and would use the double-sided sticky tape that comes with the instrument. Anyone have a better location?

2 -- How much tilt is too much for a B3030? The FEL is always on the tractor, and I know to keep it as low as possible. On the rear, I use either a Bush Hog, carryall, or rear blade (for snow). Also, I try to avoid any sidehill work.
I realize there's no exact answer to this question, but I wondered what other B3030 users regard as a tilt (in degrees) that they prefer not to exceed.
I'm pretty cautious about such things, and am aware of the "pucker factor" and common sense, but I'm looking for any other guidelines on permissable degree of tilt.
