Well played sir :thumbsup:
@Muhammad
I didn't know you guys sold those on TBN, pretty cool! Make sure you grab a 2x4 or long piece of lumber to get an accurate measuring with it though!
@Jim
Have a blast, hope it does everything you need!

Kenny, will do.

JB, you like that eh? haha

For those of you that have steep slopes, you can measure the slope with a tilt meter. We sell them on TBN here: Safety

I believe Ventrac tractors come with tilt meters as standard equipment.

The manufacturer of the tilt meters we sell just came out with a new model for ZTRs with a display that you can see even if it's mounted by your feet (typically the only place to mouth a tilt meter on a ZTR).

Let me know if any of you want to order one of the ZTR model tilt meters and I can get you a discount. I believe the retail is $39.

Contest: Whoever snaps a picture of the greatest slope reading on their tilt meter without getting killed wins.

Disqualifications: Rolling over; sliding into your pond; mowing in zero-gravity environments.

Well BK has a photo here ( http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/ventrac-forum/2462-surprise-3.html) with his Ventrac at 39 degrees, so that would be the one to beat, but lets not all go crazy and do something stupid

Said it Before - will say it again -- this is the VENTRAC 4200 with Dual Wheel
Set (8 tires) Straight up and down the slope - Gauge is mounted on the side of the tool box, so it is reading the slope as the tractor climbs straight up the incline.

I believe I have just the machine to top that.

No offense sir, but I suspect some sort of photographic trickery.
