Tracotor for a bad back and knees

Posted by ONLYTONY on December 01, 2003 at 17:29:51 from (64.12.96.236):

My father is in his 80's and cant get on a tractor
any more. He knows how to drive a tractor, it is
just that getting on and getting off part he has
trouble with. I have a Farmall H and a Kuboda,
one day he said that he may try to get on the
kuboda if I put an extra step on it. I dont think
it will be that easy because of the gear shift and
the pto lever that is just like a second gear
shifter coming out of that transmition hump.

Has anyone seen a tractor modified so that someone
with back and knee problems can get on and off of
it easily ? It looks like a Farmall H has alot of
room for modifications. It would be OK to get
another tractor like a farmall cub or something
that would keep its value.

A modified tractor would be mostly used for my
father to drive around the ranch and the land is
mostly flat, flat enough to drive a narrow front
end Farmall on. The most I would hope he would
do with it would be to mow or pull a trailer.
I would be thankful for any ideas or information
Tony
