Is it me or do the seats on the 3320 sit low? I grew up working on a farm and drove plenty of big tractors. I Now just have a small property 5 ac.
I currently own a 2210 and would like to up grade to a 3320, I went to sit on one, I cranked up the spring tension on the seat so that it had good bounce. But when I sat down I felt like I was in a low rider. I could just barely see over the hood… is it just me or do they sit low? has any one raised the seat?

Get the air ride seat and pump it up!:D I sit high on my air ride seat.

Big John:

I'm a short guy but weigh 220. When I had my 3320 I had the opposite issue. If I cranked up the spring to support my weight it would be too high for me to articulate the pedals deftly - If I adjusted the height to be correct I'd bottom out the seat. I thought about putting blocks on the stoppers to limit the height so I could crank the tension up and limit the height but never did. My seat on my 3320 was a lot higher than that on my 2305, and my 2305 seat was extra high due to a seat kit (For a backhoe) that added maybe 2" to height to allow the seat to spin around.

On the non-air ride seats you need to 'overtension' the seat to get the proper height. If you adjust it to get a nice ride it'll be way, way too low.

I have the Air ride seat on my 3720 cab (Traded the 3320) and had I known the seat was so nice (You can really adjust the height much better) I would have bought one in a second on my 3320. I've never measured but I do think it goes higher also.

I like the seat on my 3320 and do not find it low at all. It is the same for the 3520 so there is no difference with the 3320. That being said the air ride seat is on my list, I get a lot of seat time and mowing the back property is bouncy with the spring seat.
