My NH TC40S has 2" less clearance on the left side (where the step is located) between the instrument cowling and the tool carrier. The right side has 2" more but then there is the joystick across from the tool carrier but the tractor has a wide and quite open operator's deck so I do occasionally pop up on the right side-mindful of the joystick and an empty and fully lowered FEL.
My friend has a JD 850 (hope that is the right model) that you really need to be lowered from a skyhook in order to hit the chair without breaking an ankle. Sweet and powerful, just way too cluttered on the deck.
