Tractor Lift Helps Him Keep Farming

Tractor Lift Helps Him Keep Farming TRACTORS Accessories 31-3-21 Wallace White built a tractor lift to help an 80-year-old friend get in and out of his two Deere tractors. "I designed the hydraulic lift to mount on the right side of the tractor," White says. He made the lift out of flat iron on edge and bolted it to the tractor using existing holes. He secured an electrically operated hydraulic pump to the frame below the cab and runs it off the tractor's 12-volt battery. To operate the Power Step, his friend stands on the lift, opens the tractor door, reaches inside and presses a switch. The lift raises him to the cab. White says he will make custom lifts for other farmers as well. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Wallace White, Jay's Service Center, 1304 N.
