I'm a little younger than MACK and old farmer but get on my WD's the same way. Right foot on the drawbar, left foot on the platform, swing right foot between steering wheel and seat, sit down. Have never understood why some think getting on/off these things is hard.
   


This is how I get on, except in three cases:

1. Drawbar removed.
2. Plow attached.
3. Mower attached.

Then things get more interesting.

Pretty simple to get on until you have an implement attached, but I surely understand as one gets older it will become harder to do. When I bought my WD, my daughter in law wanted to drive it. I laughed when she looked for the step to get on. I said you got to get on her from the rear...I was so embarrassed as she began laughing so hard she turned red in the face...and so did I

I'm 69 years old and only 5'6" and weight 250 and I can get from the back of a wd with the drawbar and the platform removed, yes it a little tough, when the plow is on step on the top of the bottom it isn't any high then the drawbar, but I like getting on and off my D-15 or the 8030 the best.
   When we get older there is a time when we've to face it and admit to our limits.
   Everyone needs to be safe and take thing easy and do what you're comfortable with.
