Tiltmeter - how far is too far?

Chances are the only close answere would be to put a set wheel booms on either side and see what the angle of no return is. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think you may have measured the angles in degrees--not per cent slope. There is a big difference. The numbers you quote are right in the ballpark for what most folks measure in degrees on CUTs.

Yep, like JackIL said, that must be degrees instead of percent.

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. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I recently put a tilt meter on my BX2230. Mowing my creek, I get it up to 20 degrees. The tractor seems stable but it scares the snot out of me. It is even a little hard to sit in the seat at that angle.
