plowing snow for those with severe physical limitations

Drive by wire tractor for those with severe physical limitations - Toms only physical ability, other than very limited head and neck movement, lay in the very slight movement of his right hand and fingers. Tom uses a joystick for his right hand to drive the tractor and a joystick for his chin to operate the front-end loader. He enters the cab using a wirelessly controlled integral lift mechanism. The cab, in addition to having heating, air conditioning and video screens that provide both front and rear camera views—is also self-leveling during horizontal movement across hillsides. In Toms own words: My tractor helps bridge the gap between obvious physical limitations and the endless possibilities that exist to fully participate in what life offers.
