Please say this ain't true, please ??? :'(tl-ff said:I heard the new TL's didn't pass the hill climb. Any one know the truth?
You're right, one of the hills that was used for testing years ago was Fort George Hill in Washington Hts. I have a WNYF issue from 1953 where the 20, then brand new ALF tillers were tested to make sure they could "make-the-grade"vbcapt said:There are certain high incline hills in NYC that the apparatus have to be able to get up. I think they're in the Bronx & upper parts of Manhattan ? Someone else would know better than myself.

Might also be for Staten Island. Todt Hill Rd and Richmond Hill Rd. are not an easy road to get up.

Todt Hill is just a 6 alarmer waiting to happen. Between the hills and the narrow winding streets with the massive mansions its a wonder it didn't go up years ago.
