Looking at David's picture of the plowing Fastrac lower down on the page made me think of this.
When pulling a bottom plow the tractor is always at a serious slant. Did anybody ever make a seat that tilted sideways so that the operators lower back didn't have to bend to the side all day? If I rode like that I'd be going to the chiropractor daily instead of monthly.
Good luck, Wm

I ran a Case 2670 that the seat would swivel a little bit side to side, but not tilt. Sometimes that was nice. Then I ran a Versatile 800. I liked it better for the articulated steering.

The tractors do slant but that does not mean you have sit on a slant. When I plow I sit turned in the seat so I can keep watch of what is going on behind so you are not setting on the angle you would think. I used to plow for days and days and it never caused me back problems.

That's one reason to go to an onland hitch plow.

First reason is you can leave the duals on.

Oh, yeah. All you need is a tractor that'll pull a plow wider than the tractor is. I'm 'fraid the old H would sorta teeter if I brought the hind wheels in far enough to fit in front of 2-14s.:-(
Good luck, Wm

That feeling of a "slanted seat" goes away after about the first 50 yards. :>)

Yeah, I remember plowing 6 to 8 inches deep on side hills and sometimes I could swear it was going to tip over. Those fenders were about worthless for any protecteion.

... and is replaced by a feeling of "I should have been a chiropractor and made all the money off these tractor jockies".
