Greetings,
I have an L35.
The seat sits on a parallelagram (<OK, I butchered the spelling) mount that has two springs under the front.
When I sit down on it, it compresses most of the way only leaving about 1/4" travel before it bottoms out.
The tires are foam filled so when you add that into almost no seat travel, I have a sore back.
Does anyone know if Kubota has stronger springs for the seat assembly?

Hold the overweight jokes for later....I'm only at 185......for now, anyway.....:p

There is nothing in the books for your request! To remove them and go shopping at the local hardware store might help you find some other springs that could double with the ones that you have to strenghten the result. Otherwise I'd say to get a new set as sitting on a customers I was able to get plenty of lift at 250.

Greetings,
Thanks Art!
These seemed awful soft after sitting on a variety of L35s I was looking at over the last year before grabbing this one.
They compress within about 1/2" of the stops by just sitting down.

I will take some measurements and see what I can find.
