Yeah, I had to think about it at that price. The seat is pretty nice. Still, I've said this before, how can they justify $200 and up for a seat that doesn't even have a spring in it? I got a new seat for an old tractor a couple of years ago with an adjustable suspension and armrests for like $59.00. It is much more comfortable than the Kubota seat for the simple reason that it has give.

If it included shipping to your door, it would be OK... but you're right, if that's the "you pick it up" price.MOPAULY said:
You could always mail them back one of the offers from the other dealers that aren't charging as much (or anything). Tell them "yeah I noticed the difference allright"
I don't really have a problem with the price. A lot of people are saying that their dealer is playing dumb about the whole thing. My dealer went to the trouble of putting out a little postcard to every affected owner. Someone put a couple of hours into putting the postcard together. Chappell isn't maybe your typical tractor dealership. They have a big post and beam showroom with hardwood floors (yes, tractors parked on hardwood floors, indoors) and little pedal tractors to amuse your kids while you drool over the tractors. Service is exceptional. I don't mind paying a little extra if I get a little extra in return.

I called my dealer in central Canada, today. He is going to get in touch with the area rep. That new seat sure looks nice!

I kinda see your point (though I'm sure those postcards will be more than paid for). I don't mind paying a little extra for service either. By the way I checked out Chappell's website and you're right that barn looks pretty neat. If I'm ever up that way I might just have to swing by and check the place out.studway said:

I haven't heard any complaints about seat comforts on any L series tractors. I liked mine!!DiezNutz said:Oh there's probably some L owners that are feeling like the ugly step-sisters through all of this... let's see... L stands for Leftovers? Late to the party? Last picked in gym class?
<ducking> I kid! I kid!
I know, technically there's ways for the L guys to get their hands on one too, so I'm not really rubbing it in.

This actually gets my goat. At best, this is misrepresentation to their customers...at worst, this is a fraudulent advertisement.
They make it sound like they went to Kubota and worked with them, hand in hand, engineering a perfect new seat for the masses. We should all call them and thank them for their time and effort. All at once. All day long. That'd be fun.

Good point. I actually agree. Still don't like the way they put it out as their idea, though. That's cheezy. Just tell folks how great it is and be done...don't take credit for the whole darn thing...
And $50 is still a little stiff for something that was provided to them for FREE by Kubota. My dealer charged me $35, which was at the upper end of what I think folks should/could be charging. $25 sounds about right to me. Just in case my opinon matters. Which is doesn't.
