rustyfarmall is right. You kind of got to be your own judge. I wouldn't advise anything real steap. However, if going on the slopes make sure your rear wheel's are dished out and slid to the end of axel. Wheel weights bolted to the outside or fluid in tires would be better yet. Also, bolt your front rims on in the widest position. It would be better to not carry a loader or mounted implement. This kind of stuff will aid in stability on a slope, but minimal. Shouldn't really be setting an M up like this to be able to drive on a steaper slope, but rather setting up an M like this just to be safer on the slopes you are already driving. One slip of a wheel, or run over a rock on the high side, or hit a hole on the low side, or something like that will just throw you right over if you are already taking it to the extreme. Even with an M set up in the manner above, you should still observe all dangers of flipping over as set up in a normal manner. Just my 2 cents.
