Homemade Small-Tractor Powerlift Step

A Homemade Small-Tractor Powerlift Step allows one to access the operator’s station without having to climb. The step, which uses a simple tube-sliding-inside-a-tube design concept, is powered by a 12-volt electric linear actuator, has a 12- x 14-inch standing surface, a 300-pound carrying capacity, and should raise up high enough to equal the tractor’s existing ground clearance.
