Myself and someone else spent about 6 or 8 post trying to convince a new L3700SU owner that, yes he had a suspension seat, he just did not know how to adjust it. Finally the new owner took some Pics.. guess what? no suspension seat! I felt bad kinda bad about that.

Yes, the L3800 does have a suspension seat.

Someone pointed out that the L3700 didn't even have a suspension seat. That would kill it for me... I just assumed the L3800 has one... can anyone confirm that?

The seats on the L3800 and L3200 have a couple springs under them. Pretty sure there is no adjustments that can be made depending on your weight. The knob below the front of the seat adjusts the speed of the three point.

My Gravely Zero Turn has an adjustable air ride seat that adjusts to the weight of the operator. That is what I consider a suspension seat.

That is an adjustable suspension seat

What the kubota has though is indeed a suspension seat

cruise control is a option on the L3700 i think it is standard on the L3800 Randy

Looks like the L3200 and L3800 have the adjustable suspension seat just like the L3400. Adjust the black t bar. clockwise for stiffer, counterclockwise for looser.
