My new Kubota with Air ride seat

[Brandon1107]

FWIW my dealer also told me the air ride seat was an available option that I could get later. (M8540) I'm not sure what the cost is but he said I could add it later if I wanted. Anyone know the cost? What do you think about yours E/S?

are those heated windows I see in the pictures or something you installed

rear and side defrost glass is a option, air ride seat is not a option for this model

I have run a lot of different equipment, the air ride seat is great!
Just don't pump it up to high and hit a bump hard, it will bounce you right into the top ( don't ask ).

I am concerned that the increase in height will put me up against the cab roof. I am 6' tall. Is this a problem for you and do you find with your new seat that your forward visibility is decreased as you are over the top of where the wiper cleans on the upper part of the windshield?

This seat is about 1 to 2" lower than OEM. Much better steering wheel fit for me. I am 6' tall aswell

I am 6'2" and have no trouble with visibility or roof clearance.
When I first got the tractor I pumped the seat all the way up accidentally. Drove over a stump with a rear tire and hit the end of the seat belt and the roof at the same time. After evaluating what I had done, I realized it was operator error.

Thank you DDT and E/S for the information. Certainly helps with the decision to move forward.

I'm glad you like your new "Air Ride Seat". I had the Kubota Option one installed on my M5040 by my dealer when I got my tractor.

My cost was $468 for the Grammer suspension kit which matches with the Grammer Seat already installed on the tractor.

I sure enjoy mine!

A little off topic, but after seeing how nice your cab is overall, I think I will have to get one on my next machine.
