It seems that swivel seat adds a few inches to the height. Its a good news bad news thing. Great for visibility but makes me feel disconnected to the machine. As someone mentioned you get used to it. I hope. If I had a lot of hills it probably would be an more of an issue. Txs for answering.
i also think part of the reason I didn't like the way the b2301 felt was the seat. it felt mushy and springy like it wasn't very solid. I wish it was reclining as well like my bx. the bx seat was solid on the tractor, wonder if it could be swapped?. Again, I REALLY wanted to upgrade to the B for its added abiliites but need to make sure its comfortable for long term first. im gonna do the same as you all and spend some time driving it before I make my decision.
I have a B2601 and at 5'6" 200lbs, (more stocky than belly) the PTO lever hits my leg, actually sometimes when I got off the tractor I knock the lever down, and it takes me 5 seconds to fugure out why it won't start the next time I hop on.
