Spent 45 minutes trying to level the outriggers on a sloped job site in Dallas last Tuesday
Turns out the ground had a 4 degree tilt I didn't catch until I'd already extended the left rear leg twice, did anybody else have a day where the setup took longer than the actual lift?

Ugh, that tilt stuff is the worst, lol. I had a job near Fort Worth a couple weeks ago where the slab looked flat but I got the front left leg down and then noticed the whole truck was leaning like it was about to tip over. Ended up having to crank all four legs back up and start over with a digital level just to get it right. By the time I was done leveling, the sun had moved and I was working in the shade instead of the nice morning light. Makes you wonder if the extra time on the setup even saves you from anything on the lift, but you cant skip it or youll be chasing the load all day.
