Has anyone on here made steps for the 8000 series tractor to aid in washing the front windshield? As I get older I look for ways to make my farming safer. Falling off the tractor while washing the windows is something I want to avoid. I have some ideas but thought maybe someone had already invented that wheel. ------------- rieg |

One leg on frame rail one on steps wash with one arm hold on with other. If all you have on the glass is dry dust use a California duster. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

I use a telescoping squeegee. It has about an eight foot handle. Keep your feet on the ground. Get her done! ------------- 405, 7000, 7050, 8050, 8070, L3, 2300 & 2600 disk |

I like your ideas, I think my wife bought me one of those to do the house windows!! I'll have to find it, I guess that tells you how that went. I hate washing house windows, I usually have something else pressing to do. I think I am going to make something to bolt on the frame rail for a little better footing for when the tractor is away from home. Thanks for the suggestions. Lets all farm safer as we become seasoned. ------------- rieg |

| what about bolting on one or two of those folding steps that you find on a grain trailer or fab somting up and show us some pictures i am all for steps on tractors and pickups instead of sliping off the three point arm or the back bumper , but i think whats more important is somthing to grab ahold of |
