Impressive transfer. I’ve been a para since 1973 and used to do those kinds of things. Save your shoulders, build something to do the heavy lifting for you. Bless up. Live long and prosper.

Thanks! I try to keep in decent shape without overdoing it.

Thanks for showing this. I tore my right Achilles and the speed control is the pedal on the right floor area. That’s a great way to get me by for a while. Thanks

Glad it helped. Hope you heal up quickly.

Great ideas. I've been in a wheelchair for 38 years. I'm currently using an 1862 Cub Cadet garden tractor. After several rotator surgeries, I'm looking for a way to make the transfer easier. We built a platform that I can roll up on so my chair and tractor seat height are the same. It works pretty well, but I haven't tryed it since my last surgery last fall. I hope I have the strength to do it.

Thank you. The platform is a good idea! You'll get it! 💪👍
