Replace / Upgraded your seat?

[AB4D]

I would like every seat complainer to state their height and weight. I think this must be an ergonomic issue, because I have no problem with my seat, yet I've heard many others complain. I am 6'1 and 180 lbs. No complaints.

I am 5' 10", 190, with a 34" inseam, and I don't like the seat on my L3430 HSTC. The seat always makes me feel like I am sliding forward out of the seat. When I go down a bumpy hill, and if I am not wearing the seat belt, I will slide right out of the seat. I am thinking about raising the front of the seat or seat base to compensate.

I have had the exact problem on my 7510. I ended up taking off the springs the seat rest on and cut about an inch off them with a grinder. Worked out great and now I don't feel like I am sliding forward all the time.

I am 6' 4", 210 lbs with a 34 in inseam and I always feel like I am about to slide off of the seat on my B7610. I find it a very uncomfortable seat.

I'm 6'2", 225 lbs, and find all the Kubota "B" series seats quite uncomfortable. Like many others here, I find they slope forward way too much. I've been curious if the seats from the older B2710/B2910 would fit since they are much more comfortable?

6' 215lbs, and My BX2350 sits the same way,, I hate how it slopes forward... I thought I was the only one, but this thread proves that I'm not...

Shimming the front may help... how do things like this get out the door... Just makes me go Hmmmmm....

I suppose that just lets us personalize our units for our own taste...

6' 1" and 200 lbs. and I find the seat on my B2910 to be basically comfortable once I adjusted the suspension to my taste (fairly firm) - however I find that the seat angle tends to make me want to lean forward, which, over hours, fatigues my lower back. Sitting back in the seat to get some lower back support feels unnatural .... leg room is at the point of being marginal for my frame size with the seat at it's rear position.

I've noticed my BX24 seat does slope forward...no really comfortable while mowing, but good for backhoe work. I may look into trying to level it unless I can find a way to adjust the rear springs.

I'm 5'10" and 175lb. I've had my M5700 for 4 1/2 years and have around 360 hours on it. I think the seat is great and would say that it's the most comfortable utility tractor seat I've been in. That said, I've spent my fair share of time on 20 or so different tractor models by Ford, JD, IH, Kubota and Fiat through the years, both on my farm and on jobs. I've got to wonder if you have a defective seat or if the weight suspension spring isn't set right and/or you need to move the seat forward or back. I have a BX1850 and there is a bit of a forward slant to that seat. The BX seats are completely different from the seats on the M series tractors.

I didn't like the seat on the b3030, so I had Messicks replace it with the much nicer seat (he rec'd it in another thread). I'll review it once the tractor arrives.

The seat on a Grand L3830 (??) kept me from buying a Kubota. Wonderful machine, simply perfect in everyway, except the seat.

Same for me. I wanted the L3830, but bought the Case DX35 mainly because of the seat.
