I hate to even open this can,,,, but your first picture is why I don't like a ballast box. Look how high your weight is added.

You know.....you're absolutely right. I completely forgot to lower the box.....

Hills, hills and more hills. Where can I get a tilt meter that goes over 25 degrees? I use a builder digital meter and a spirit level, no use when you are moving.

You dont need more than 25 degrees. Pegged at that side hill on a tractor youre near or past trouble.

I've posted these pictures before but they apply here. I now mow this area with my JD2210. No worries at all.

If the face of your bubble/level gauge isn't vertical you'll get inaccurate readings - in this case, it appears to be reading high.

Oh, and something's wrong with the color settings on your camera - the tractor looks orange. :laughing:

When first setting up a tiltmeter, one needs to "calibrate" it against a reference (don't assume you garage floor is level).
I used a regular bubble level (to establish "level" when I installed my tiltmeter.

Not just side to side, but front to back. In this case, it appears to be tilted forward and reading 24 instead of the correct 22.

When I was a kid my granddad had the dealer put ditchwitch tires on the front of his kubota so he could mow his hills

Just out of curiousity, how do you know it's 22 degrees?

Anyway, yeah...front to back (or, fore/aft as I prefer) should come into play if that degree of accuracy is required or desired.
