I would recommend you try to get him on something with power steering. Regarding the shifters, I have seen some of the Zetors with a flat deck on them. I am sure some of the other makes have a flat deck in front of the seat.

With your dad in his 80’s it is still real important for him to feel needed, of which I am sure he is greatly needed. If you can help him get onto something that is easier to drive and get on and off easy it will make it less tiring on him. And he will spend more time diving and smiling.

I would not have wanted my elderly dad running an older tractor that would not be as comfortable as a newer one with a back support and so forth. And at 52 I don’t jump down off of them like I did when I was in my 20’s .

I am very happy for you that your father still wants to get on that tractor and work . That is commendable. Some of us on this forum would probably like hire him out from under you . Many of us can’t find tractor drivers when we need them :>) Tell him the guys here are wanting to hire him!

God Bless
