Man, at 40 degrees sideslope, most perspective buyers would crap themselves, or puke, or both and probably go home to shaken to actually buy a truck.....many would have a bad reaction at 40% I would imagine...I hate sideslope...
Actually that would be kind of funny as a requirement to own, kind of like hazing new owners
S </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I was at almost 40 degrees this weekend on my Kubota tractor with the FEL, and that is stained shorts scary. Getting to that point is one thing, but to be stopped and then have to get the tractor out of that situation is alltogether a different story. You know you screwed up to begin with. But to have to drive it out of the off-camber with turning the wheel feeling like it's going to make you flip is a freaky deal. I had to kill it and walk back to the shop and talk to myself about it before trying to right it.
I finally decided that, with my seatbelt on and the ROPs I would drive it down the slope and hope for the best. What made it worse was the lack of room. It wasn't like I could drive several yards to ease out of the situation. The ground on the lower side gave way some which put me in the bad situation to begin with and made driving it out of it unpredictable.
