I am a new T11/ T12 and I am a dairy farmer in Ontario. I am looking for a way to get in our tractors. Does anyone know of a lift system.

Thanks

Mike

Most provinces have "Farmers with disabilities" You could do a goggle search. I have seen many types of home made lifts on their sites. Hope this helps.
