Welcome to TBN from NY.
TSC has suspension seats from $100 and up. I put one on my previous tractor. Just a plain spring suspension w/ armrests. Adjustable spring rate up to 250 lb. It was not the most expensive but much more comfortable than the factory solid mount seat with no suspension. Some modification was required to mount it to the same sliding plate in my tractor. I guess it depends on how much you want to spend whether you get spring and air suspension, cloth, vinyl, or leather covering. I'm sure Kubota has a suspension seat available for a price.

I have that exact seat that was purchased through Ferris. I saw the same one on a Kubota tractor. That manufacturer works with quite a few OEM's.
It's a really nice seat!

The Michigan Seat is the same as Sears Seat (no relation to Sears Roebuck, I asked) They make several OEM seats and are a reputable company.
I like that seat. maybe someday I'll put one on the BX.

Take your seat and install an air ride suspension pack under it with on board compressor and be done with it. Seats all bolt up to ISO patterns and so does the air ride pak. Just a matter of getting a hot wire to the compressor. Thats my first mod on any tractor I own that don't have air ride.

Sir, could you give us some purchasing info. on the air seat coversion you mentioned? I have an air seat in my Branson and it is fabulous.....air compressor and all is part of the seat support on it.
I have installed a suspension seat on one of my ZTs and to get it where it was a comfortable ride for my 250# it bottomed out of big chug holes and hurt my back. And, being mechanical, it isn't as smooth in operation as my Branson air seat.
So I took it off (put it on another machine) and got a couple of motorcycle air seat chambers (used on cycles in place of a spring under the seat) and installed them with an air tank (reservoir) that I usually have to fill up every few days from shop air. That worked pretty good but floated too much and when I added one, not two, of the original springs back to the seat it really went well.
However I am interested in what you mentioned and surely other seniors with horribly rough terrain would be also.
Thanks,
Mark
