Alan,
I'm having a hard time understanding this. It seems to me three
legged ladders would be more stable on uneven ground. I understand with
the Little Giant you can adjust the individual height of the front and back, but
that still leaves side to side rocking. That's the problem I have with my
stepladder. The ground can be just a bit uneven, or soft, and the ladder
rocks from side to side and is unstable. One would think four points
on the ground is more stable vs. three, but it's not been my experience.
Once I built a grinder stand with four legs, but no matter how level I got
the legs, it still rocked a little be when moved to a different part of the
floor. Then I remembered seeing manufactured grinder stands with three
legs, and realized why they were built that way. For this reason, I was
planning to buy a Tallman tripod orchard ladder, but now you have me
wondering.
