Yeh I agree, man.
KC, answering you, you know I did that seat upgrade so that I could just flip the seatback down and sit facing the backhoe. I was wanting to see how much easier it would be without the rops in the way. I must say, it was really nice, just raised my legs and spun around as you see in the video I made. But it just felt unsafe to not have the rops up, and also seems kinda dumb to remove that for the sake of a couple seconds literally of climbing over the seat. So they're back on.
Speaking of rops anyways, I keep forgetting to wear my seatbelt with it. Which leads me to my next point...doesn't that seat belt suck? It ratchets up with every bump and then I have to release it and put it back on. I'm wanting a seatbelt that doesn't ratchet, anybody swap for one, or find some other solution?
