Steps For Deere 20 Series Tractor TRACTORS Accessories 28-3-42 We operate a big dairy farm and use wagons to haul a lot of silage. During harvest it's not unusual to get on and off the tractor up to 100 times a day. To save steps, I came up with a couple of ideas for our five Deere 20 series tractors.
These tractors come factory-equipped with only one small step on the side. I replaced the single step with two larger, non-skid steps that make it much easier to get on and off the tractor.
Both steps are newer-style tractor steps and are mounted on a metal bracket that bolts onto the tractor using the original bolt holes. I call it my "4020 two-step." I also came up with a drawbar pin equipped with a. spring-loaded latching system that keeps the pin from popping out. The pin is about 10 in. long and has a 13 1/2-in. long, U-shaped handle on one side. The tractor driver simply pulls on a rope to release the handle, and then pulls the pin out of the drawbar. A rotating collar at the top part of the handle allows the pin to rotate so the handle won't twist off while hauling heavy loads. I've made a few sets of both the steps and drawbar pins for neighboring farmers. (Brian Lexvold, 30380 Hwy. 19 Blvd., Red Wing, Minn. 55066 ph 651 388-3883)
