[AT] most uncomfortable to drive tractor

[Will Powell]

I always felt the 8n was easy to mount and dismount. 



I think the toughest is the allis c or b. Once you are mounted its fun to drive, but getting on and off requires some strength and flexibility. They must have been designed with the rider affixed to the seat. 



The Wd and WC are a little easier to mount, but you must do it from behind the seat. Once mounted  I just don't feel like it was designed for a driver. Almost like AC management called R&D  and said "great tractor, now please put a seat on it."

Y'all, 

'Tis indeed vexing how tractor mounting and other stretch exercises wane 
with age.  The light and bouncy AC B and the Farmall A mentioned here as 
hard to mount are in fact that way, but when I wuz a teen, didn't think 
a bit 'bout bending, climbing or stretching to get on either one.   
Climbing up to view gas or water level on a Farmall H was a bigger 
stretch.  Compared to now, was part squirrel back then.
