Height Restrictions?

i had a student that was about 5 even..........no problems.........

may need "blocks" though on the pedals..........!!!!!! (j/k)

 

I'm 5'4"...no problems for me.

Saw a guy once driving a Columbia and he had no trouble. He was about 4'2". Your friend should be fine.

 

Being 5'4" also, I'm glad to read this!!!!!!

 

there are "several issues"........

1) that huge belt buckle will be bigger than him.

2) the all you can eat buffet table he will need a stepladder

3) he will get lost in the bunk of a condo, although for him a condo would actually be a mansion.

4) he won't be able to wear a 10 gallon cowboy hat, but he can bathe in.

5) he might get blown away if its windy outside............


HMMmmm............

can't think of anything else................


why worry..........??????????


he's living life now, right.............?????????

 

I was thinking I could stay in shape playing b-ball in my stand up(if I get one of those!)...

 

worked with a guy about 4'8"----and he was running ice roads and off road alot--iirc he had blocks on the throttle and clutch and the seat might have been reworked a bit--mind you tho--thiis was in a 1970's western star--when trucks werent as cushy to drive--and he was one tuff sob--cold ####ed one guy with a ball peen when he was mouthy--he also had 4 brothers that were over 6 feet--so he had to be ruff and tuff

 

Just for grins, I slid the seat up all the way in our Freightliner daycab at school this morning.....uh, I am only 5'8" and 145lbs. and I had to bend up like a pretzel to fit. I don't know about all models of trucks, but a very short person could reach with no problem...pedals and steering. One of the ex-students stopped by a week ago and she was definitely no taller than 5'0"...and that may be giving credit...and she had no issues at all.

 

Honestly? You're probably better off in a tractor at 5'3" than where I am at 6'3". I found a way to fit and be relatively comfortable, but I can't stretch my legs, and the seat backs are designed for torsos shorter than mine. It's giving me a bit of a hunch.

Meh. Short answer is: No prob, bob.
