You could mow a steeper bank if you would remove that heavy chain hanging from the low side light, and hang it from the high side light.

Wouldn't work. It's a safety chain. Gotta have that on the down side, prevents uphill rollovers.

By golly you are right! Have had no uphill rollovers! :laughing:

Went to the other side of the dam, it is steeper, at 2 to 1. Major pucker factor

!

Pond side, 3-1

Other side, 2-1

The chain shows true vertical.

I went back today in the Ranger EV. Took the protractor to get a reading of the angle. The straight edge is too short to work on the uneven ground, so I measured the back of the ranger.

It has a lot of body lean, so the angle is steeper than the slope.
