Mxx40 series buddy seat

[Hay Dude]

Anyone found an aftermarket buddy seat for M7040-M9540 series?
Kubota has never made one.
After looking at the curved shape of the fender on the backside, it presents a challenge.

It looks more like a generic seat. The flat mounting plate doesn't look like a customized fit for the curved fender well.

I swear someone good with fabricating skills could make a lot of cash designing a seat to fit these tractors. There 100's of thousands of them out there.

I don't know of one and really don't see how there is enough room, we have an M8540. There is more room in the Mxx60 Series and I've seen them with aftermarket instructor seats.

I'll be following this to see what comes up.

I have a M9540 Dual Speed and there's not a lot of room, but I'd still like to have one for bringing a helper along to feed cattle.

Me too, we had one in our Case CX80, but can't figure out how to fit another person in our M8540. My son has jumped in there to get out of the rain, but I can't operate the machine with two in there.

They are not available in the kubotas less than 85 hp. They are available in the new M5 series. I did fit a tread where a guy did make a generic Deere seat fit and believe I could have done the same but do feel it will be tight and in the way given the cab size.
