You have a weight adjustment on that seat.

With a backhoe on the 2650, the regular seat is replaced with a swivel base on the seat.

That is the reason I asked about a bh.

Murph I don't see any "weight adjustment on that seat". All I see is the standard front to back leg length adjustment. Please clarify?

Picture maybe.

Thanks

On the standard seat, on the rear, there is a T handle that screws the dual horizontal suspension springs tighter or looser.

Here is the T-handle

This is the seat base on the B2650.
You can see the springs in the last photo.

Well slap me silly. There it is!. I guess it came with no tension on those springs. I gave the T-Handle 3 turns tighter.

This TBN site is the best...........Thanks Guys.

Is it the same on the seat of a B3000?

I don't recall reading about it in the Manual, but I may have missed it.

My seat feels like a diving springboard.... when I hit a bump, I go flying.

The suspension seat was was only available on the B2650/3350, I believe.

I know this much, spending 4 hours in my father in laws rutted up pasture makes you really appreciate riding in that spring instead of rebounding off of the coils from the backhoe seat. I don't I'll lever install the backhoe seat base again. I despise that worthless junk.
