Does anyone know of a website or document that outlines the typical rollover point for the different tractor brands and models.
I understand that there are infinite variables i.e. wheelbase, weight distribution, implements, center of gravity, operators skill, etc.
I am also sure the tractor manufacturers know exactly how much each model can be tilted before a rollover but are reluctant to make that information public.
I have seen many advertisements for inclinometers (Tilt meters) but I don�t know how much help they are without some basic knowledge of the tractors rollover point.
I suspect most of us have a �gut feel� of when we are pushing the envelope for our machines but I believe the manufacturers have a responsibility to provide us actual safety data relating to the limitations of their machines.
I would be curious about the rollover point of tractors when they leave the factory without implements and other variables.
I suspect the manufacturers will be hard-pressed to publish that data as it could present a marketing problem for some and maybe some of their lawyers do not want to publish information that could be used in legal actions.
Anyone else have thoughts or information on this subject?
