Nice to know I'm not alone.
6 ft here with 30" inseam and usually with a cold back.
Add age and growing belly I need 38 waist with 30 inseam,
Ask me if I hate current style pants that barely reach your waist.
I don't need a MD to tell me why I have a sore back as it is mainly due to drafts.
I find that Mark's work wear (L'Equipeur in Quebec) often have shirts in TALL so I visit often.
While I like offshore internet shopping, forget any shoes as most seem to stop at 8 or 9 while I need 12D's but usually have to go tp 13' as everything is 'medium' these days.

I am 6'5" and have size 12 shoes. I don't have any problem on my JD 2025R. I don't fit in many brands of semi tractors though. Freightliner and Volvos are the only newer day cabs I can drive. Luckily my employer mostly has those. The new International I can't hit the brake without hitting the throttle so those are out.

I wear a 11.5 EE but trying to find that size is not easy. Even a 12 isn't wide enough and 13's are really hard to find around here and depending on where they're made may not be wide enough either. I finally found 2 shoe stores that have (or can get) the wide widths so I can try them on. One is SAS and the other is RedWing. Both are brick & mortar stores and I use them exclusively for my shoes and boots. SAS is strictly shoes for people on their feet all day (no boots). RedWing has boots and some shoes and are more aligned with field work. Neither are cheap, but they last a long time and are well worth their price.

Very nice tractor. Well equipped!!! Can you post another pic of the 3rd function hose couplers? They seem to be in an odd position? Maybe the bracket is on upside down?? Couldn't tell from the pic. Assuming the dealer added that function? Beautiful tractor!!!

The dealer did install them and after taking off the bucket so it would fit in the garage and letting down the loader I can tell their placement is going to be a problem. I was thinking about bending the plate forward. Is this what you would do or do you suggest something else?

I can't tell for sure, is the tube they are fastened to square?? If so, maybe bolt the plate on the front of the tube with the couplers pointing horizontally forward?? This would have them pointed toward whatever attachment you are using and have the hoses up on top of the tube?
If the top of the tube is the only flat surface, then maybe bend the plate into an angle which also points the couplers forward and raises the hose.

They have hard lines running under that plate so it seems the best option is to either bend it or fab something where they are facing forward. I don't think it'll be to hard to fix.
