This thread jogged my memory regarding The Toolbox: Techniques and Suggestions
It looks like the publications at the site provide some ideas that might prove useful to TBN members and others with physical disabilities.

TripleR, here are some pictures. I use a power chair so I'm not sure how much muscle would be required for a manual chair. The ramp brings me right up level with the cab so I can just step into it. There's enough room on the landing to spin around and drive down the ramp. I've tried it about a half dozen times and it works fine.
If you need any more info let me know.
I sent my friend the link to this post and he was excited to see all the responses.

Thanks for the photos, he sure did a good job on it.
I am using a regular chair now when I have to travel any distance and my wife pushes it as my shoulders are shot from falling down.
I will someday have to get a power chair, so the incline won't be a problem. I now drive my Rhino or Grizzly down to the barn where we keep the tractor. In looking at the ramp it occurred to me that I could use the general design to work with a power chair as well as my Rhino.
We keep our M8540 four miles away at another farm and could build one up there and use the Rhino or figure out a way to transport the chair.
I hope I won't need one of these for a while, but I didn't think a year ago I would trade my cane in for crutches. I know the time will come and I will be able to "keep on tractoring"; thanks.:thumbsup:
