B7510-Do you slide out of the seat?

[btolle]

Am I the only one with this problem?

I have a new B7510 and the only thing I found that I don't like about it is the seat. Seems that I catch myself almost "reclining" in the seat after a few minutes (yes, that is with the seatbelt on).

Seems like the seat bottom is lower at the front and makes me slide forward. I have tried pulling the seatbelt tighter but that doesn't seem to help.

Anybody have any suggestions beside gluing sandpaper to the seat bottom?

Velcro? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Is there a chance it was treated with Armorall or something similar? That will make real slippery. I did that to one of my motorcycle seats, once.

Oops, I did put 303 aerospace protectant on it. That is probably adding to the problem.

Compared to my old B7100 it seems like there is too much padding in the rear or not enough padding in the front of the seat.

My Kubota dealer has some universal seats for about $60 and I might try one of those.

Meantime I will try to get the 303 off and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip.

That is likely the main problem. I'm not a fan of using many of the protectants out there. Problems like this seem to occurs and it seems if you do it once, you have to continue to go it to keep it looking good. Keeping it out of the sun is the best bet!
