FUNNY QUESTION

[TripleR]

Nope, just the PTO selector on my 2660 and 2305 when dismounting, I use cabbed units for everything else and I have to turn around and back out.

I broke the PTO selector clear off of my 2305.

I allways wondered why they made it so long.

When mounting your tractor how many of you run the shift lever up your pants leg when wearing shorts or get it caught on your saw chaps strap ? :laughing:
Or is it just me ?

when wearing BDU type shorts I have it happen quite a bit.. Now I take particular car when getting off the tractor so try and keep it from snagging..

Not my trouser leg...but on my 670 and 790 (gear shift lever just in front of the seat), I frequently caught a boot or shoe lace on that shift lever.

Run tractor mostly nude. Don't have those problems. Only when bush hogging this time of year do I suit up with hat and netting, as protection against the bugs. My sweat pants don't hang up on anything.

Ooooohhh, ya, used to do it on my old 790 all the time. That was a bad place to put a shift lever on such a small platform. I don't think I will have this problem on the new 5055D. More platform room and no shift lever right in the middle.

I've done it twice on the transmission range lever on the 2520, bad enough to completely rip the leg of the shorts all the way to the crotch. Very nearly fell flat on my face (but by some miracle, didn't).

Was VERY glad the machine has an interlock to shut the engine down, or I might have been both embarassed AND dead from being run over.

On the plus side, I will have to say that I was impressed that the range lever didn't bend or break, even with my lard-***** hanging from it....

My 3400DT has a pretty cluttered floor, it's a pain getting on and off when it's in 2nd or 4th, 1st and 3rd will be the first gears to wear out I'm thinking.
