None. I wear steel toes, safety glasses, ear plugs and usually a sweat band in warm weather.

I vote for the tank down lower, too. They could have easily put 2 small tanks underneath the fender wells. I've thought about that 30 # of fuel full up so high. Would add to stability to have it sit lower.

Re: 4100 / 4110 / 4115 - why is there no foot-step

I moved my seatbelt clip and added a JD cupholder, which has worked great. I don't think clearance with a 790 step installed on a 4100/4110/4115 would be an issue. The step would still be higher than the front / rear axle, which are more likely to hang you up. What may be an issue would be catching the step on a branch or something....but you have that problem on any tractor with a step. Anybody up for installing this ? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

forget the step boys. when I caught mine on a stump, bent it all out of shape, including the floor panel and left fender (all connected) I was wishing mine (5105) didn't have a step. and I hve more ground clearance than a 4100. cost me around $200.00 in parts to fix it. You don't need a step. Install a grab bar/handrail/grip on your fender or something.

Thanks for the advice.....the 4100 has grab bars / handles but they don't seem to be very well-placed.

The grab handle should have been placed to each side of the instrument panel. They should have put them there and given us drink holders like on the 2210 in place of where they put the grab handle.
