Hi Jim, You can make your own gauge really easy. Use a piece of sheet metal and put a pin on the flat, so it swings loose when the plate is moved, mark it at 90, 80, 70, etc, degrees. Put your tractor on level ground and install on tractor.

Take a couple chains from the tractor to a dead stake from the side you'll lift from. Jack up tractor on one side adjusting the chains as you go. You'll will find center of gravitiy and the chains keep it from flipping over the tractor. Note angle on gauge and divide this by half. That would be your maximum safe angle the tractor can work without tipping over providing you don't hit a bump in the surface.
