    Sorry, that is incorrect. a 100% slope is a 45 degree angle.

    It's not even 45 degrees, closer to 30 degrees I would say.

    The Fendt brand is here , but grossly over priced . Have had more then a fair share of issues , then nonexistent dealer network thus wait for ever for parts . Like I stated earlier have used the Valtra brand , it had the same dealer issue, but never needed parts except normal service , and just stock filters ahead of time. Valtra's main stay is logging equipment , and the model we ran had that mindset in mind . Nothing electric except the engine . Did have to replace the radiator , climate guess is warmer here. That was the only issue, replace a radiator in the first 200 hours. Plus was priced as a deal .

    I know, I'm an idiot. But just have a look at this picture:

    You wanna go places, get a big Tigercat, Timberjack, CAT or John Deere grapple skidder. You can go pretty much anywhere in the bush with one of those all chained up.

    I know, I know. I measured it for you, and it is in fact about 26 degrees. Very sad indeed.

    Yes, or a Leopard 2 dozer tank. But these are hardly practical vehicles don't you think?
