Allowed slope angle

[LittleBill21]

anyone know what the max series engine are rated to run on angle, I have some 25-30 degree hills, that I need to run on. any idea's?

I think you'd roll the tractor before the engine cut out.

With pressurized lubrication, that shouldn’t be an issue on hills that steep. I’d probably want to keep the fuel tank pretty full, wear all safety equipment, keep loader down, etc.

yea i am more worried about running it dry at an angle. I thought this would be a standard figure in the literature, i know that some engines require deep sumps to do this, I have to use the backhoe for hours at this angle.

What’s the dimensions of the sump?

I have no idea, i figured with these type of engines it was a published number.

my mini-x is rated to 30 degrees. would recommend running the Best AMSoil engine oil in case something happens. Will save you tons of money

Can you safely assume the pickup is at the bottom of the sump? If so, would looking at how deep the sump is compared to width give you an indication of what angle it will hold oil to?

how would you determine what side the pickup is on, or what level the oil is in the sump?
