Best little tractor for a big guy

[TheMan419]

I'm 6'7" and 223....

I have a NH Boomer 24 and feel a bit cramped, but nothing terrible.

Much like I do with cars I had to try them on for size. The green one of similar HP also seemed to have decent room. Of course that green paint is expensive.

I am sure as a tall guy you already know, try things on before you buy. It adds an extra dimension to our decisions, but check out several tractors and determine what fits your frame.

I'm 6'2" 300LBs with size 15 feet. The basic Ls are a decent fit. The grand Ls are even nicer, I just couldn't justify the expense. I'll be modding the seat sometime to go back a bit more. I will say that there's no tractor I can think of that's actually "large" with it's space. I've sat in a Magnum 290 and, while comfortable, it didn't have much more room than a full size pickup.

Today I sat on a Kioti CK 30.

I was surprised at how much space it has. Way more than the Mahindra I sat on.

At 6'4" and 260# the L3200 works well for me. I had to modify the seat mount on the B7500 I had to get a little more room.

6'2" and 265# with a JD 3720 and is easy to get in and out of and everything is laid out nice and ergonomically super.

I too landed on the Deere 33x0 series which is now called something else. At 6'4 220 I still don't have the seat back all the way.

I raised my seat one inch with some trex blocks and added suspensions springs. Big difference.

I"m 6'3" 225lbs and find my Mahindra 3016 just fine.

Did you have the seat all the way back and the tilt wheel forward?

What are "trex blocks"?

What are "trex blocks"?

I'm pretty sure he meant blocks made of Trex synthetic deck material, (plastic and wood fiber).
