I’d cut the stick and reweld it shorter if you want it shorter.

I have cut down the joystick handle on a few different tractors. ITs easy to do to make the tractor more ergonomic and function for yourself. Nothing is worse than doing loader work all day with controls that put your arm in an uncomfortable position

That’s half the reason I like my mini x so much. The joystick controls beside you and sitting beside the boom so it doesn’t obstruct your view is 100x better than sitting straight behind the boom with your arms stuck in front of you all day.

Right! In hindsight, it's obvious. I just didn't give it any thought until after I installed the kit and was surprised that EA and others don't mention or suggest that you'll need to make the adjustment. It would have been very uncomfortable to try to use it way up at shoulder height.

Thanks.

On the bright side, whenever I'm doing loader work most everybody waves back.
Some even honk! :LOL:
