You must be over age 22.

Just a little

My father is really appreciating power steering at age 79... he got in and out of my tractor all winter, to gather 40 cubic yards of firewood for the years that he might not be so mobile, after being out of business for 2 years due to artery surgeries, cracked vertebrae, tinnitus and a host of other smaller issues he had a hard time accepting...

So i say good for you, go on while you can, because rest rusts !!

I had to add one to my Ford. I also added a grab handle on the front top brace and fender grab handles.

Wiser is smarter. Better steps, ladders, stepstools well placed hand holds makes for long enjoyable life. I kinda like bar grates for steps because they are shelf cleaning for mud.

Excellent! Don't let anything slow you down, orezok. You only get old when you sit down and stop working.

Mud…. MUD…. We ain’t got no stinkin’ mud. I live in the desert

I turned 80 this year and remember a friend suggesting I write my age on the back of my glasses to remind me not to try the things I did 20 years ago. Now with back problems and a hernia, I think I understand but I an't giving up just yet.

Getting up into the cab of my Ford 6000 can be challenging. It is not just the steps but also the very small opening just in front of the left hand rear wheel - see picture. Refilling the diesel from a 20 itre container while balancing on the step is an interesting job too
