L6060HSTCC Air Ride Seat / Stationary PTO Use

[TripleR]

Yep Grammar seats in the L60, but as noted lot of variations. I had no idea what to get, so I used the one Paul had on his.

I have the OEM Kubota (Grammar) air ride seat on my 2017 L6060 HST. I had to put a cinder block on the seat to use my PTO generator. Dealer told me there is no factory approved fix. I did this:



It also lets me stand to see my pallet fork tips while operating the tractor. The jumper does not cause the tractor to shut down after prolonged use. I plan to remove the jumper and install a switch at some point.

It's a shame Kubota has no fix for this problem on such an expensive machine. It also would have been nice if the dealer told me about this when I ordered the air seat.

Most salesman are not operators so they don't know and there is no official fix because of liability issues. The OPC operator presence contactor is on all the seats, mine sounds a buzzer then turns off the PTO. You just jump it. Now the liability is on you. Blame the lawyers

Well I got the new tractor home and one of the first things I wanted to do was use the 3PTH chipper and of course it wouldn't work.

Without looking back at this thread, I figured I would jump the only connector that was not in use. The yellow one in your first pic. It worked until I tried to move the tractor. As soon as I pushed the go pedal the tractor would shut down. Obviously that connector is used for the seat tilt check function. So my first reaction was to install a lighted rocked switch in that circuit. That way all the safety issues would still be addressed. ie, PTO would shut down if I got off the seat unless I made the conscious decision to flip the switch and then a red light would come on. I would also have to remember to turn the switch off when I got back into the tractor or it would not move. However it was much easier to jump the seat switch as you noted and that is what I did.

Having gone through this exercise, it makes absolutely no sense that Kubota would not instruct their dealers to install a lit rocker switch with the air ride seat option. It would take less than 5 minutes to include it with the installation and the cost would be a few dollars at most.
