</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I used a tilt meter on my first tractor and when that ball got to 20 I was very uncomfortable and usually backed out. I bought one for my brother in-law who uses a bx series to mow and he pegs it all the time and says it's stable. Thats the difference between tractors. Best thing is to be slow and careful when on slopes. I have had a roll over but sorry to say I didn't notice my tilt meter at the crucial point. )</font>
That is exactly my concern with a tilt meter. I could mount one on my tractor drive my tractor up on an incline until it felt unstable, back off a little and use that reading as my upper limit. Suppose for the sake of argument it is 20 degrees. The next week I could be driving on a hill side on a 15 degree angle and roll over. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gifWhat happened??? According to my tilt meter I was safe?
There are other "dynamic variables" that could have caused the tractor to roll even though the grade was only 15 degrees: tire air pressure, soft soil conditions, speed, loader or implement position, unseen hole, etc...
