[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 33939, member: 26"] OK gang, what sort of a side slope can I operate my T180 on? Obvious answer: when it rolls, remember the slope angle and don't do that again. I have installed sissy gauges (angle gauges) on my 751 and my T180. On the 751, I know I can do 38 degrees side slope with the bucket down (saw the contractor do it once). So I never work it over 30 degrees and I'm comfy. The only thing I can figure on the T180 is to put it on a controlled slope (pile of dirt in the front yard) with another machine off to the side with a safety chain and just increase the slope until the T180 starts to get tippy. I do a lot of mowing in hilly terrain and I would like to know what's safe and what's not. One of the reasons I got the tracked machine was because I felt it would be more stable on a side slope. Anyone have experience? Or an opinion? :-) ---RC [/QUOTE]
