I'm not sure I agree with you a 100% on your police work, there, Lou. Your numbers are right, but slope and grade are the same thing. It just depends on which way you're pointing.

The H3 can handle a 60% forward slope, rising 60 feet for every 100 feet forward. This equals a 31 degree "pitch" angle. The H3 can handle a 40% side slope, rising 40 feet for every 100 feet across. This makes a 22 degree "roll" angle.

I hate % measurements too. But I guess the marketing folks liked the bigger % numbers better.
