My new Kubota with Air ride seat

[Robert_in_NY]

With hardware, steel and determination you can put an air-ride seat in about anything. I helped this guy who was crushed by a horse and had severe back pain install an air-ride seat in an old Belarus tractor.<img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=387146"/>

That seat is worth more than the tractor :-D

Easter Seals Michigan AgrAbility program got the seat for dealer pricing and donations to pay for the rest. When guys get hurt, they usually can't afford a newer tractor with a nice seat, so AgrAbility tries to help with things like this so the farmer can keep working.

Sounds like a great program and you are to be commended on your part in helping this man.

In a time when many people with the slightest disabling condition want to get a government check instead of working, I think we should be excited to help any tradesman with a disability who desires to work. It might not be possible to accomplish all the former tasks, but they can at least work to their potential. This apple grower with a spinal cord injury put a racing steering wheel on his New Holland TN95F orchard tractor. He can pop the steering wheel off to make more space when he pulls himself into the cab since the orchard tractors are so small.

I agree completely, we have several TBN members with disabilities who have adapted, not long ago there was an inquiry from a paraplegic needing help.

I've been helping adapt tractors for people with disabilities since 1998 and I'm willing to help anyone out I can. If you hear from someone with a disability trying to use a tractor, send them my way!

Sure will, thanks.

Waxman came up with this modification to help me get on/off mine and 4shorts modified my base for an air ride seat.

This modification makes the steps look like factory models! Is the frame of the upper step and mounting point on the cab strong enough to support the second step? When I have tried adding a second step onto an upper one, the torque of the second step really makes the upper step and mounting point flex.

No problems so far.

My Branson came with it as standard equipment including high back, arm rests, adjustable lumbar, tilting back, and fabric material (no butt or back sweating like Vinyl) with their logo (no charge for the logo...grin). One of the several reasons I bought an unknown brand and haven't been sorry. The seat makes the tractor. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine. Course along with that they added a steering column that allowed you to set the height of the wheel and move it in or out, for egress or operation positions like I had with my JD Soundguard cab ......but it didn't have the seat.
