Yes, you are bound to get advice like that. (I did also, and chose to ignore it). That advice is not necessarily wrong (or right) but as you say "not what you wanted." There have been numerous ingenious ways of modifying tractors, I have partnered on modification of a few. In my case, and in most cases Barrier 1 was reaching the tractor seat. The modifications I have been involved with were for individuals with sufficient arm strength to drive an automobile with hand controls. From your earlier post I assume this may not be your situation. I do recall seeing a young fellow from either Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, Canada that operated a Skidsteer on a family dairy farm. If I recall, he entered and exited using a sling type lift (with minor assistance). Once in, it's not hard to imagine joystick operation. Often (and definitely in my case) cost was a major factor.
