Most readers of this forum will know that in another thread tiltled Tiltmeters-Why Not? I gave my opinon to the question.
Rick Hedgecock with R&B MFG. Threw down the gauntlet in the form of a challenge. Try a meter and see if it changes my mind, and post my findings here. I agreed, and have decided to post in sort of a diary style as I do different things with the tractor, and finish up with a summary. Fair enough?
The tiltmeter arrived yesterday evening in a box that the post office had clearly run through the mill. But it seemed to have survived the ordeal in good order, and this morning my task was clear. Where to put it?
I had allready looked over my tractor and read thru the thread on mounting a tiltmeter. The TC29D , evidently like a number of tractors, does not have a real good place to mount such a device. Sheesh, no wonder some people are concocting panels and such to mount their meters.
The meter itself is a well made device and comes with brackets for mounting. I also recieved some velcro strips with mine, but Rick does not recommend them for permanent mounting, only for temporary use.
For reasons I will go into at a later date I wanted to mount it so it could be removed without too much trouble.
