Anyone find the BH75 operator station cramped

[goneandbrokeit]

Comparing the BH75 to the BH90,
I find that my knees are at an uncomfortable angle when operating the hoe. From a safety perspective I also feel a little to close to the work when boom/bucket are crowded.
I find myself folding the seat down and just sitting under the rops. I am considering attaching a bar with u-bolts to the rops. Then remove the seat from it's stock position and mount on the bar. My ideas run along a bolt on solution that could be returned to stock if desired.
I think I can work something out, but I was wondering if anyone saw any pitfalls with this approach or if anyone has any alternative suggestions.

All I did with my BH75 is trim some of the rubber bumper down so I wasn't tipped foward, It is comfortable now but I am only 5'9". So I would guess a tall person would feel cramped.

Just an update in case you are considering the BH75...

I thought it strange that no one else had this problem, it was so uncomfortable I would think some one else would have complained.

Doh! read the manual stupid...
I Finally got a chance to take another look and I realized why. The column the seat is on has 6 bolt holes with 4 bolts. This allows the BH seat to be raised, I did this and problem solved.

LOL...now I understand why you were so cramped, I totally forgot about the height adjustment, I also adjusted mine right after I used it for the first time.
