B2650 entry step

[timbertom]

Timbertom,is your B2650 a cab model or open station? I don't notice much flexing with my cab model. On my previous B2620 there was noticeable flexing of the fender when using the foot step.

Open station. Western Washington never gets too hot or cold, rarely snows significantly and the rain is frequent but light/moderate. Little need for a cab.

I tried the step on my cab model B2650 and it seemed very solid with little flexing. I weigh about 185#. Different situation with the open station tractor it seems.

I get the same "fender-flex" on my open-station B3030. It's not a lot and I don't think it's anything to worry about, but just in case, I always try to transfer my weight to the grab handle when stepping up onto the platform.

The step on my B2650 is like tinfoil. My front tire picked up a small log and lodged into the step. The step and platform buckled. I was able to straighten it out a bit. I am disappointed in the gauge of the metal used on the step and platform.
