Hi to all. I know I have read some tips on this forum about older people and the front legs. We have problems with pulling the pin, and raising and lowering the front legs. We cannot bend and get up like we did when we were younger. I have used all the search terms I could think of, and did not come up with anything. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you all again. Buslady

Do you want to replace the present landing gear with automatic hydraulic landing gear?
Do a search for Bigfoot hydraulic levelers.
What other help are you looking for if you do not want to replace your present landing gear?

I have the same problem at time and I am not even 40, luckily my 10 year old does them for me. I have had some back issues. Anyway, I wander if any one makes a spring loaded pin that would come in from both sides. That is where I have the issue is having to line the pin up. If that mechanism was more automatic one could find other ways to rais and lower the legs with some type of bar with out having to bend down. will be interested to hear if anyone has seen a easier pin system

We use the spring loaded pins and I added a 3/4 dia. ext. long I bolt bolted to each landing pad and bent to miss frame . These work like a handle and make it better to use .

No, But thinking about it, tho'. For me the bending down is easy. It's the gettin' up that kills me.
