I recently installed mine. I'm about to hook up my 60 drive over deck for the first time this weekend. Are there any clearance issues I should look out for?

 

[Gofast]

No clearance issues. Here it is with a 60" MMM all the way up.
Thank you for your purchase!

If you are a Kubota owner, you can buy a much nicer custom made step.
Contact: specialtyrepairssales@gmail.com for information.
There are also many You Tube videos of their products.

I put one of their steps on my Kubota L48TLB, and it is a work of art.
Somewhat larger (longer) and better designed, than the piece of bent plate made for the MF, as shown in this video.
They only make upgrade products for Kubota tractors, and theirs is quality stuff!

The owners of the business are Paul & Kathy Short in Bay Roberts, NL, Canada

This is a Massey Ferguson Thread, but thank you anyway.

I'm surprised to see a MF dealer endorse an aftermarket item. But then again the step isn't likely to void a warranty.

Like to see him put on a skid plate Had to take mine off to do my hydro oil change a couple weeks ago, having it there is worth lying on my back under the tractor and the work involved.

He is going to do a Video on my Sentinel protector. He is great to work with.
I actually own a GC 1710 and use and test my products on my tractor.

You don't agree with my recommendation?
People recommend Everything Attachments products here every day, and I recommend their products too.
Do you have something against people in Canada, or just people who build Kubota mods?
My post is my opinion,.... so you think it should be deleted?
Why?

Specialty Repairs is a contributing member of TBN, and coincidentally makes high quality modifications for various tractors. I'm sure there are rules about advertising here, but 3rd party opinions and recommendations are an important function of any forum.

Your comments are just in poor taste and has literally nothing to do with Canada. The creator of that part is the OP. Regardless of whether or not you think the product is overly simple or a piece of art doesn't negate the fact that this item serves a purpose, is helpful to those with mobility issues, and is more or less a product of community support and input for the poster's small business. All you're doing is pissing in a pool. You could have referenced the other item respectfully but didn't. You know exactly what you did.

This isn't even a Kubota thread.

and, there it is. There are general threads for a reason, and specific ones for a reason.

We do put out quality products and get very good feedback from our customers. We have a very high rate of return customers.

We only make products for Massey Ferguson GC, an underserved market. We sandblast and powder coat all our products.

We are a very small business and appreciate each and every customer.

We will not be disrespectful to other companies selling products.

Because you came in here, a Massey thread, to sh@t upon a top notch producer of top notch products, made specifically for Masseys, with irrelevant info about products for Kubotas.

My dealer, Eckroth in Orefield PA carried them as well.

I did my hydro change without removing, did need an extra towel though, lol

And for anyone wondering, I have both the sentinel skid plate and the step. They are top notch and my machine is not babied at all, it is used commercially and on our farmette. Both have held up well, zero complaints.

When installing the sentinel, the installer sucked and may have been drunk (me). Called Mark with an issue (not really, as I said the installer sucked), he answered and we had it sorted in minutes.

I talked to my dealer about this stuff as well as wheel spacers that they were oblivious to the fact that they exist and were not interested in looking into them.

I have to ask how you changed the hydro filter off without removing the skid plate. I looked at it an did not see how I could get to it with my wrench or how I would have enough leverage to tighten the new one by hand.

Just went in from the outside “triangle” used a pliers type filter wrench to get the old one off.

I'll have to look at it closer next time.

It’s not ideal space wise, and the filter just fits in/out, but it worked.
