My new Kubota with Air ride seat
Yep. According to the photo the fore/aft is included. There is no OPS on this seat but i dont care about that. The Grammer I ordered has the same size base size and height as the OEM one but the floor has to be level for it to work so I have a small mod I need to do on the floor. Did you...

Air Seat Upgrade for my M59 TLB
Bliss! If anyone else is sick of their crappy OEM Kubota seats with no suspension I've found a relatively painless upgrade that will work for your M59/M62 I took the plunge and ordered the Kubota "L6026" air suspension seat made for the L6060 cab tractor and found that it fits with very little...

I paid CDN$1300 for the air ride seat seat a year ago and have no regrets. Sorry, I regret I didn't put it in 5 years ago, it would have been that much much cheaper and saved me 5 years of pain and suffering. I did a lot of fiddling with my OEM seat and my conclusion is the K OEM seats are designed to suck - even if you are 5 feet tall and weigh 80 lbs.
Inflation sucks but I really don't see prices dropping any time soon.
Low stroke mechanical suspension seats don't work if you have back problems.

Coupman, it requires modification to the seat pan, but you want a Grammer MSG93/721 seat. It has longer suspension stroke than the seat in the L60 series, and is likely cheaper than buying from Kubota.
I bought mine from toughseats.com. It was not cheap even 6 years ago, but I was able to sell the factory seat out of my L40 for a couple hundred bucks to offset.
All the info on the conversion is here:

The only thing I would not do again is add the document storage box option. I’m tall so typically the seat is in the full rearward position, which caused the document box to hit the storage box when the seat compressed.

Grammar Air Ride Seat 5740
Thanks to fabrication by Paul (4shorts) and installation by my brother, I finally have my 4shorts air ride conversion seat. Weather hasn't permitted me to try it out yet, but it sure looks good. The craftsmanship on the finished product has to be seen to be believed, Paul is an artist with...

Correct, they offer a “factory” air ride seat option for the L60 that doesn’t require modification to the seat pan.
However it is a much shorter travel air ride that does not ride as well as the longer travel model that others have mentioned.
