    A lot of older persons knees give out on them but it doesn't mean they can't handle those modern POS tractors the only pedals they have would be the brakes and a 3 year old can mash those
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    I am too big to turn around and climb off my tractors so I have to jump off. This is bad for the knees and back, especially after hours of sitting or when constantly getting on and off . Once in a while you land badly or your hand slips on a muddy tire. Bigger newer tractors have an operator platform above the transmission that is much easier to turn around on but it does require an extra step or two.

    Good idea. I like it. We had a guy in our town who flew his antique airplane until he was about 90 years old. More power to the old guy that wants to keep farming!
