Here's an idea for those of us that are, shall we say, not thin. I mean really not thin. I love my B7510HST and everything except one control is easily accessable. It's the round 3ph valve knob between your legs, almost at the floor. What I found was because there seems to be part of my body that hinders me when I reach down (some less than sensitive people call it fat), I didn't use it as much as I should.

Well for those of you who are width challanged, here's an idea. What I did was take a short metal flat strap, put in my vice and bent a "small" "L" at the bottom. Then I put the strap at the back shaft of the round knob and put a small radiator hose around the shaft and strap "L". The knob becomes a lever and is now easily accessible for me. Kubota, are you listining?
