Rollover angle limits for JD tractors?

[orlo]

Hi:

Does anyone know if JD or anyone else publishes 'safe' operating side angles for different JD tractors? I know they are all ISO xxxx compliant but I can't see the specs for that anywhere. I suspect most of that standard has to do with the rops anyway which I'm looking to avoid needing

I realize it would also change due to factors such as tire loading, tire size, a low implement, any top weight (awning, etc.) but I'm looking for a general guideline as to when the tractors (2305 and 3320 in particular) will roll over. Most small lawn tractors come with a 'safe' degree rating. I'm just looking for the same (A degree limit or %grade limit) to check some slopes I have to see if they are side mowable.

Thanks,

I've never seen a specific allowance. I doubt if you do.
Due to the many differnt combinations of implements, tires and such, the manufacturer would not want the liability of stating 15° (for example) is safe...when it may be for one set up, but not another.

Just use common sense and go slow. If it starts feeling scary, it's time to back off.

BTW, when my 790 was delivered (in a pouring rain), the salesman wheeled that machine over a side slope I wouldn't even have considered... Tells you what a lot of experience (or complacentcy) will do for an operator.

One idea, check the advertisers for the TiltMeter folks. They can help a lot as to what you can expect. And buy one of their products, they are great folks.
