Work Stand Height for Tractors

[sqrlgtr 2,798]

Quick question for y'all that has a worktable or lift fir their Wheel horse tractors. If you had just one height for your table, what would it be? I have an old table I made out of an electrical cabinet door with black iron pipe for legs years ago (very sturdy) that measures 6ft by 3 ft and is around 3.5ft tall and wanting to lower it so I can put my tractors on to work on them, just can't decide what height I should make it. Probably use atv ramp to load/unload tractors and maybe some casters or wheels on it to make it a little mobile.

My advice would be to go low. 

 

IF you still have the capability of squatting... DO NOT LOSE THAT.  

 

We considered building a tall tractor table. I then decided that I really like maintaining my physical health and flexibility. 

 

I decided to keep the work low and started using short shop stools.  

 

I can still stand up and lean over the tractor when needed. And I can stay seated as long as I want.  

 

If you cut that table lower you'll have all those benefits and also the added safety of a lower ramp angle.

I have a rotisserie for doing body work and some disassembly and assembly tasks. You can swing it around until you get to a comfortable position.
