A level would take into account the ground slope which would interfere with a true implement position reading. In other words. Level on level ground would not be the same setting or angle as level when the tractor is pointed downhill.Your mod looks great
Would something like this mounted to the implement help you level it?

When setting your tilt you don’t actually need the true value (level, 5*, 10*, etc)A level would take into account the ground slope which would interfere with a true implement position reading. In other words. Level on level ground would not be the same setting or angle as level when the tractor is pointed downhill.
Advantage OP.
Pardon my french, but that is BADASS!! Great job!This is my work in progress… there’s two inclinometers, one on the tractor where the light is mounted and one on the quick attach. It’s hardwired between the two and has a power saver feature. I can select the base reference of either the tractor body or relative to gravity. In both modes, I can tare it to zero out (which is useful for different implements). There’s 5 light positions. Green indicates -3° to 3° reference while amber (between 3° and 5°) & red (more that 5°) flanks both side to denote how much positive or negative tilt.
Also added is the 3 level dimmer selection. All from one momentary button to select level mode, brightness, tare, and power on/off.
Pics shows mock-up testing of LEDs. It’s now hardwired into place and am doing trials.
Now THAT is cool...and only $27?Would a DRO for mill do any good?....
