New seats for the BX - warranty item?

MOPAULY · May 11, 2007

Found out from my dealer tonight that Kubota is issuing a bunch of replacement seats for the not so hot BX24's current setup. Apparently he has to place a lump sum order and it's a one time only bulk deal, at least how it was explained to me.

So, for $20 and my old seat, I can get the new one around the first week of July. Just thought I'd throw this out there for any other 24 owners looking for a new seat as well. I would assume this would apply to all, but who knows? I guess you could complain that the seat should be free, but to me, for $20, a whole new redesigned seat is a great deal.

Thanks, I'm definitely going to look into that one. There simply has to be a better way to make a flip around seat.

What is new about the new seat? I have a month old BX24 and wonder if I already have the new or the old one?? Gor a pic of your old current one?

The old one is thinner at the bottom and rakes forward quite a bit. The new seat looks like it is molded thicker on the bottom and puts the operator a bit more level in the seat.

I don't have a photo of the new seat, but I did see it and it looks comfy. Here is the old seat.

That sure looks like my new seat...I will take a pic to compare, but it too rakes back. It is comfortable but does have a sloping drop. Wonder what new change they made?? I am digging out a tree stump today, but will take pic this eve.

It looks like you have the old seat. I would ask your dealer about the new one.

I have a B7510,,, The seat is the same as in the pics by Dog Lover. I'd rather sit on a stump all day as apposed to the kubota seat. Are they doing anthing on the B7510 & B7610 that u know of?
