[AT] Actual tractor content - New Holland TC33D

[charlie hill]

Larry,  I bet you could get them to customize one for you with the pedals 
extended out to the
front end of the platform frame.  If not it would be easy enough to do it at 
home.   I've never
driven or even been around a Tuff-Bilt except passing by one at a show but 
it looks to me
like what AC would have built the G to be today.   The vegetable farmers 
love B's and travel
long distances to buy them on sales.  I don't think there is a better 
tractor for small scale
veggie work ever built.  Back in the days when tobacco was plowed one row at 
a time their
only rival was the Farmall A and the ability of the A to do other field work 
and having a more
conventional appearance is in my opinion the only way the A stayed in the 
game.

Have you tried sitting in the operator's seat on a Tuff-Bilt, Herb? 
Personally, I find that the foot rests are too close and won't let you 
stretch out far enough for comfort while working.   If I was younger and 
didn't have to live with two artificial knees it would probably be alright, 
but I find it too confining.
