What about installing a level-sensing device to cut ignition power when a dangerous angle is achieved? For example, the Upright manlifts that I used to work on have a level sensor on the base that cuts all power if the base becomes more than 1 degree out of level. This is because, if you're raised up there 20 or 30 feet, by the time the base leans 1 degree, you've moved the top end a good bit. Y'all mentioned below that a 3 point attachment would halt the tractor at approx. 45 degree angle. Could a level sensor not be modified to kill the ignition @ 30 degrees or so, allowing a safety margin to spend the inertia of the moving machine? Obviously the spec could not be too tight, or the tractor would shup off just driving safely up a hill. Heck, I dunno, it was just a suggestion. Any other ideas?
