tony I didn't get the name big dan from pushing back from table. I have filled my front tires with foam which adds quite a bit of weight (did it for flats). I have trouble getting my feet size 14 in the places that they go. Once I am in the seat I have plenty of room once I spaced the three point handle closer to the fender. I have a allis chalmers WD and B that is a lot harder to get on and off though. I know that you know but when you use the tiller always lift it to turn corners. If you don't you could break off the tines. I have a FEL on the tractor and have to be a lot more careful about how wet the ground is when I mow or I will rut it up a lot worse than before I put on the FEL.
