Serious agriculture - related accidents are increasing and tractor overturning is one of the most important factors leading to death in farms in Iran. In fact, the interplays between tractor operator and environment cause such damages. There are several reasons involved in tractors overturn that the recent method in tractor design is nearly to improve with using the electronics instrumentation that gives the operator key guides related to the tractor`s stability as it is operated. In this study a new system was developed. To measure a steep slope land electromagnetic gauge was constructed. The working principles of the slope gauge, based on the magnetic field were changed by changing the slope of the ground. The embedded inclinometer within the pendulum inclinometers with their period are used to altering the magnetic field. The output of inclinometer analog and the voltage range was (47/2-32/0) V. This information was then processed by a microprocessor, and an assessment of rollover potential was reported to the display device.
