  Tractor use

I'm not sure you can get anyone to commit to how steep an incline is safe; depends on your tractor, how wide apart the tires are, how low the center of gravity is, etc. I put a tiltmeter (inclinometer) on my tractor and I've mowed at 18 degrees and don't like it. I think the tractor could handle 20 degrees, but not sure my nerves could. On tractorbynet, I recently read that ANSI standards require the ability to operate on 20 degrees, but if you are already at 20 degrees or close to it, and a wheel hits a soft spot, hole, etc. on the low side, or a rock, limb, etc. on the high side, well you can imagine what might happen. I try to limit my work to 15 degrees or less. If you're interested in buying and installing a tiltmeter, click on the link below and you can visit their web site. I have the model 7489C on my tractor. (And I'm not trying to sell them, don't have any financial interest in the company, etc.)

KenB, I don't have any problem accessing the tiltmeter web site; don't know what the problem might be for you. It's R&B Manufacturing at http://www.tiltmeter.com.

Frank I have a steel canopy on my tractor with a coated angle iron frame, and I mounted my tiltmeter to that frame right in the middle under the front edge of the canopy. They come with brackets and can be mounted different places, even on the hood, but I didn't want to drill holes in the hood on my tractor.

Doug, I do the vast majority of my mowing (and other work) in 2WD, but when mowing on slopes I use the 4WD. But if a slope is steep enough for the possibility of what you mentioned; the front end kicking up and going over in 4WD, I'll be going up it backwards anyway instead of forward.
