Air Suspension seat for M59/M62?

[rScotty]

Has anyone put an air-suspension seat on either the M59 or the M62? It would have to be one that swivels around to the backhoe position.
This would be a really nice addition, but I'm getting lazy and would like to find one that fits without too much modification.
thanks, rScotty

There was a similar discussion on this last month with some information:

I upgraded the suspension seat on my L6060 to a Grammer air ride and it was a direct bolt on. It was a Kubota dealer installed option and well worth the $800 price tag!! I don't believe Grammer makes a swivel seat though. Perhaps one is available from another manufacturer.

I got a quote on the Grammer MSG75/731 CDN$1783.00 for a bolt on replacement of the OEM

Includes - cloth cushions, backrest extension, armrest kit, air lumbar,
retractable seatbelt, seat switch, seat cushion tilt & depth adjustment,
swivel, locking slide rails, and 12 volt air suspension
Options - heated cushions (add $197.52)

I'm still waiting to see if my lottery tickets came in...

Charles, I haven't upgraded my seat yet. But my other TLB has an John Deeres air ride seat. I believe it is actually a Grammer. air ride....and it is fantastic on rough roads. There isn't any second choice in my book. The M59 has a peculiar fast bounce on rough roads and ruts that I expect an air ride will simply make disappear.

Please post when you get your seat done...my biggest desire for the air seat is suspension travel...The MSG75 only gives you something like 2 inches...MSG85 is around 3 inches but it might be too wide to swivel without hitting stuff in the cab.
