I have had a problem with the seat on my 6000 bottoming out hard since day one. I have discovered a $1.49 fix. As some of us are big boys the seat adjustment even at its highest level has a tendency to bottom out if you run over objects like leaves or grains of sand. Seriously, it was big problem for me. I looked the seat over to determine what I could do if anything. While I was at Wal-Mart I picked up a “Fun Noodle”. It is the long closed cell foam item sold as pool toys and flotation devises. The one I got is about four inches in diameter and solid with no hole down the center. I cut one piece about twelve or fourteen inches long doubled it over on its self and force-fed it between the seat and the metal pan under the seat. And just to make sure I cut another piece about eight inches long and inserted it vertically between the seat and pan just forward of the other piece. I gave it a test drive and was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottoming condition had been alleviated. It’s going to get a real workout this week during the haying of the rest of my fields.
