Adjustable Operator Platform for Enhanced Comfort

better than everybody else so with a stand on you know you're trying to pack a lot of things in a small package for one there's a couple different ways that different companies build them one you have a platform off the back where you can flip it up okay and then there is other companies that build a stand on where you just stand on a platform and this is where your operator presence is okay and it's talking to the landscapers this is what the system they preferred yeah so there's two different ways inside the industry one's either on the platform or one on the sandals yours is on the platform because that's where guys like it the most that's what I like the most and that gets your operator platform right in between the wheels which puts the weight balance exactly where you need it to be okay okay and then from there it's all about kind of creature comforts you're standing on this machine all day long right yeah we want to make it as comfortable as possible we really thought there was a great opportunity to improve on that so first thing we did was on this pad it's a really nice wide bolstered pad here that you can lean in to be comfortable on but we know we have five foot five operators we also see six foot five operators and you can't make one pad fit everybody or height so we actually have the pad adjustable about two inches so you can put it in the lower setting here which is where I like it cuz I like to put my knees in the pad and be comfortable but then you got a guy that's over six foot tall he may want it way up here so just to get it more comfortable for the operator and then of course we put a little pocket in here that's pretty cool yeah and we put a little pocket here so you can keep your phone there without it bouncing out yeah we'll pocket for your phone not but you should not be listening to music while you're cutting grass right and then that pad easily pops off easily for serviceability and then while we have that off this backplate here comes off as well if you've ever changed a hydro belt on a stand on it's not fun so by having this back plate accessible gives you access right into the belt so you can easily change the belt out of course release your hydro pumps here and be able to blow it out and clean it out as well so then going to this platform which is I believe the best suspension platform
