Not as wide as your previous machine?
No this is 4.2 m I have another that is 2.7m. I think you mean the bedformer that is 5.4 m. My smaller mower was broken so I had to bite the bullet and buy another this one had been on display for about 4 years so I got a good deal. Plus I can use a bigger tractor and get more done in a day and it’s on wheels which I prefer to a roller.

It is yes, bolted to where the loader brackets would go, this in no2 ever made, on its second tractor now. There’s 6 or 7 been made now
Does the platform part fold up to keep in side the tractor running width I’m not very observant I didn’t notice it until bob pointed it out 🙄

To sit Bob, i’m a full time wheelchair user paralysed from waist down. I know the designer/fabricator is making a standing platform currently
What other modifications has it got for you to operate it? Think it’s bloody great that lift still allowing you to operate tractors how many have you had the lifts fitted too?

Just a brake lever and camera on the pto guard to see the hitch. Tractor is autopower. It’s on its 2nd tractor now, was on a 6125r to start. There’s 2 on Valtra’s up in North Wales, No1 and No 4 models i think, one on a 6120m old shape and one on a 300 series Fendt (that i know of)
My hat is off to you RH15LEW for not letting your disability get in the way of your work! I know able men that look for an excuse not to do anything all day!

Your going to laugh at this but when @Bob lincs mentioned a lift I thought it was some kind of new contraption to lift the tractor up to change the wheels! 😂 😳
