I have a new L6060 cab. There is many threads here and other sites on the issue of poor suspension on these tractors. Have read each one I could find. What I have learned is Kubota does not seem to offer anything with working weight limit over 265 or 285. Was given the two numbers by a parts person but he also was looking outside of Kubota's seat system for me. He said he was not able find anything above 285 pounds. I weigh 240 pounds, if a seat was designed for an honest 265 pounds then I should have no issue. I have two other Kubota tractors, a B2710 and a M6800. Both of those have better seat/suspension than the L6060 does. To me the seat itself is a decent seat. The suspension seems to be the total problem. I have been told Kubota uses the same seat for the mechanical or the air ride system. Back to the weight issue, a Kubota Mechanic who weighs less than 200 pounds said the suspension is the issue.
Would those who found a replacement suspension system that worked share the brand, source, model and any other info you can on it. Thanks
