[ShantyBranch]

I ran across this, photo attached, tip/level meter in a British off-road magazine ( another $$ vice), wondering if it who suffice for my tractor needs. It sells for $9.95 !!

I've also seen them for sale at Boater's World for the same price.

Here's a link. suncompany.net

They use a non-magnetic brass ball too. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

You also have R & B Manufacturing on this site with multiple posts on his tip/level meters... you may want to check out...

Okay I will check out tiltmeter - which model would you say is best for my rig - 4500 ?
Are you saying they-tiltmeters- are different or better than the Lev-o?

ShantyBranch, I don't know a thing about the Lev-o. It looks good, and of course it's obviously a lot cheaper than the tiltmeter (as are some other similar products), but you might want to inquire as to the material used. What material is the tube? The main body? How easy is it to break? How susceptible is it to heat damage, sun damage, etc.? What kind of fluid is in the tube? Does its viscosity change with temperature? As I said, I have no idea what the answers are; just know that R&B's tiltmeters are pretty darned durable; don't know about the Lev-o.

I think Rick's are aluminum cases... not plastic... I don't use either product... but I hate to admit it... but your $9.95 is a bargain...

Just to give you an idea of the slope's... that's really a great idea.

Why don't you be the guinea pig and let me know.. and then I buy one... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
