Having a problem getting used to having a cab. As an example: when using the backhoe, when time to move forward I could just reach back and raise the fel slightly and push myself forward with the boom. Now, I must climb down from the hoe, open the door, climb up and raise the fel, drive ahead, lower fel, climb back down and climb back up on the hoe. Flat wears me out! There has to be a better way.

Removing the doors or the back glass defeats the purpose of having a cab. What are your solutions? The constant climbing up an down is hard on an old fat man.

Thats how i do it. Or have someone else in the cab to move it forward.

Thinking about possibly adding a rod to the loader control arm and snaking it out the rear or side vent window. All it needs to do is raise and lower the fel a little. Old worn-out hip and knee joints become angry and make my life miserable.
