Backhoe - Seat Spacing

[Compusalt]

Anyone else have issue with backhoe seat and overall room to operate? There is no seat adjustment and there is only 5" between seat and control panel. Almost impossible to operate for long time, legs are pushed back and levers are pushed up against thighs. Any options to change seat to adjustable style for larger people?

it's pretty tight on the BH77 too . Especially after spending years on a Case 580 . I've been thinkin how to change things up but I haven't had the hoe on for @ a year .

Make a bracket to move the seat or add an adjuster

K designs machines for people 5 feet tall and 90 lbs

You need to buy a bigger machine for more space in the operator station

There are a couple sets of holes for the seat and high if I remember right when I put mine together.
