They have hard lines running under that plate so it seems the best option is to either bend it or fab something where they are facing forward. I don't think it'll be to hard to fix.

Yep. I think you should work on that to improve it.

Beautiful tractor. If I ever wear out my little JD2210 that's what I'm stepping up to. I don't need an FEL. Would want a snow blade for the front and a MMM. Thanks for the pics. Very curious to see how you like it. Start a thread when you start using it. If I don't post on the thread, PM me so I see it.

A freind has the same tractor , seems to like it . you might want to load the rear tires as they are a little light in the rear. this size should fit your needs perfect , have fun .

The dealer loaded them with antifreeze/water free of charge which for my area should be fine.

Me and my wife just purchased 5 acres of completely overgrown and neglected land and we're gonna need a tractor. My issue is I'm 6ft 5in and I have size 16 feet. I've sat in as many seats as I could find from as many brands I could find in my area (Kubota, Mahindra, Kioti, LS, JD, and Massey's) in the compact to lower end utility sizes. None of them seem to have enough leg room nor is the accelerator in a comfortable position for my size foot. I know this is not a common problem for most people but I can't be the only one. Is there any brand or size I can try that will offer more leg room or at least a more forward accelerator and not a treadle pedal because my foot actually got stuck on one of those.

Ok here is my two cents. Check out the LS XR6168CPS. I have size 17 shoes and my feet sit from seat base to pedals about four inches away from pedals of the 6168. However in a Kubota M6-141hp my shoes slide one inch UNDER the pedals! I refuse to twist my legs and feet and pull my legs backwards to then raise off the floor and rotate from a 90 degree angle back to being straight just to use the pedals!

That being said, here is what you look for. My shoes from heel to toe are 16 long. Measure the floor base where the box of seat touches the floor and measure from there to the bottom of the closest pedal at the bottom of pedal to base of seat box. If you don't have at least 4 or more in front of your toes to closest pedal you can damage the circulation in your cramped legs waiting to stretch out when a pedal would be needed.

Have a salesman measure from base of seat on floor to bottom of pedals before you go to see tractor. If it is less that four inches longer than your shoe, don稚 bother with it. Hard to believe an LS 68 hp tractor has more leg room than a 141hp kubota M6 but it does. Massey Ferguson 5700 series is base to pedals of 15 so that tractor is to small. Raising and lowering the seat wont give foot room for safe pedal operation. Only leg room and comfort...if the shoe fits. So if the shoe fits, buy the tractor!! Have a nice day and i hope this helps.
