But ya, maybe I should have a look into a bracket of some sort.

Might I suggest building a step that is not mounted to the floor board at all . . . here's why:

1. Rubber mounting the floor is for vibration isolation . . Keep the leverage off the floorboard . . . The step should be mounted to the frame member that is below the rubber mounting imo.

2. The step could be positioned so that it doesn't interfere with any potential future mmm issues.

3. What would be nice is if the step height was just an inch or so above your ground clearance height so that you would have a visual indicator from the seat . . To recognize how close you are to maxing out your ground clearance.

4. Back to rubber mounted floor board . . I don't understand why kubota would have the step attached to the floorboard other than lazy design . . because the step gains no isolation benefit but hurts isolation benefit for the floorboard (weight at edge creates vibration potential).


If the floor boards flex on a 165# man . . What would it do to create negative leverage with a 300# man? Imo putting the strain on the frame is much more appropriate than on the floorboard . . and a fine looking tractor like this is too tempting for friends and relatives to want to sit in the seat . . .and because its a tractor . . they shouldn't have to "be careful" just to do that.

Nice tractor . . . . it "looks" muscular . . it looks like "it works out" lol.

Jmho

I went back to post #1 and looked at the photos- he's right! Not a word I would have thought of, but it does look muscular!
A capable looking strong young tractor!

Nice looking tractor, beefy tires too.

Can you pick up the rear end with the tires filled using the hoe?
