I have a garden hopper and it was okay, but at age 75 I have problems with balance, and leaning too far risks falling. I now have a tractor seat scooter. The seat swivels 360 degrees and tilts in the direction I lean which helps me keep my equilibrium. My weight problem is that there's not enough; my doctor says I should weigh 120; I slipped to 98 as of last week. My checkup is set for the 27th - I know she's gonna fuss.

I also have a heavy duty metal wagon on pneumatic tires.
