It truly is.  Stand could be made so much better.  Not ergo friendly in my opinion.  I came up with a way to motorize a 29K or Adler 30 class on the the treadle stand that is fairly easy to do.  Only part you have to remove is the metal or wooden Pittman arm.   It takes using the machine on a set up to come up with a better set up.

I understand exact what you saying . I got that exact stand on a machine setup . I windup straddling the left front castor wheel and working both peddles with R-Foot .
The stand is quality, but user friendly/ergonomics is lacking for sure .
.

That's exactly what I was doing! Hence my Heath Robinson mod to swap pedals.

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

I find that as much as I'd like to get closer, I have to stay back in order to keep my foot flat on the treadle to toe down/heel down.

just ordered this stool, well see if it gets under the stand and makes the machine easier to use

also I bought a new chain from home depot and easily made the left pedal the up/down presser foot and the right pedal the throttle.
