Is the air seat worth the extra cost on M7060 cab model?

I know the price difference (few hundred) and I understand the actual seat is the same and just the suspension is switched out.

Mainly haying use (4-8 MPH travel speed) and road work.

I have both seat bases> I would say if you have rough terrain/holes etc yes it is worth it. It is convenient also to be able to adjust hight by easily changing air pressure
I took mine out and adapted it to the ZD 331 since that needed more help with riding smoother

Yes it is very worth it, have a L6060 cab with air seat and L6060 open station standard seat.

Thinking of buying and air seat for open station.

if you are 5 feet tall and weigh 90 lbs then the OEM K suspension seat will be good enough

I also have the air suspension seat in my cabbed L6060. It's made by Grammer and worth every penny. I'm also considering one to replace the OEM seat on my MX5800 open station.

For anyone with a bad back who logs a lot of seat time, IMO, it's a must have.

I have the regular seat, weigh 140 pounds and I find it works fine for me.

I have now sat on both, air suspension certainly nicer. Air seat is dealer installed option and can be retrofitted at anytime as well.

The air ride is pure heaven when compared to the 4630s spring seat. I added to swivel to make it even better.

I'm probably a minority here but I don't care for the Grammer seat at all. In fact I removed it from my M9 cab tractor and replaced it with a Talon seat on the air ride base and added a swivel to it. I took the Grammer and put it on my M9 open station with a 'Seats Inc' air ride base and tossed on a water resistant overcover as it does get wet, it's an open station with a canopy.
