Kochia ,Sarcasm right. Ih cabs were the worst to get in and out of.
Considering shoup and others make a killing selling those aftermarket steps and railings everyone puts on the sound guard tractors, no. If it was easy in and out of those, you wouldn't see those aftermarket steps and railings everywhere, let alone on the tractors. See image for reference. I've seen more tractors with those than without those on steffes and other auctions.
Otherwise on the 30s, you have flat, painted, steps, a flat painted cat walk, then a tunnel with a clutch to trip over. That flat, painted metal gets pretty slick when wet or covered in snow or ice. Not exactly sure who though that was a good idea.
Meanwhile the 86's have serrated steps. The 88's have stamped and raised tread steps. Both allow for mud, water, ice, and snow to pass through. The 86's, you enter on the right and go straight up the "safety style", Deere aftermarket words, not mine, steps, where two convenient handles and a steering wheel are available to grab onto. 88s the left, where it is the same thing. You can even hold onto the inside door handles from the ground on both the 86s and 88s. There is nothing to trip over, nothing in the way, and no easy way to slip and fall.
Now, if you were arguing 66s, you would have a point. I don't understand those cabs.
