BX with Tektite cab problem

Tigercub · May 22, 2021

I have a new to me BX23s with a Tektite cab and just started to check out the BH. I find the seat difficult to flip around to use the BH as it tends to hang up on one of the cab’s braces. The real issue I’m having is once flipped, the seat is too far away from the controls even when adjusted as far forward as I can put it. Does anyone else have this problem?
In place of flipping the seat I use a two by four with a pad on it to sit on. This gets me close to the controls but a little hard on the tailbone :\

Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Now you have a wooden Kubota...

No, I just assumed since the tractor is 3 yrs old that the previous owner would have had the same issue and not got anywhere with the manufacturer.... then again maybe he had arms as long as a gorilla?

I just might do that though thanks

Can you lengthen the control levers? That would be my approach.

I thought of that and that might be a last resort. I am concerned that when the cab was installed the seat was not setup correctly as it seems as though the seat, once flipped, "should" be able to slide further forward. I was hoping for someone with the same setup could compare notes as to their experience because as it is the seat is so far back I have to sit on the edge and lean forward to operate the leavers. My back can only deal whith this for about ten mins....
