suspension seat for bx2230

[kobe23]

I just installed a michigan suspension seat on my bx2230. This was very easy to do and wow what a difference.

If it has the high back, you may want to look at my modification. While they are more comfortable, they can take their toll.

Thats a good idea for your setup. On my tractor I was able to use the factory seat mount that has springs on the bottom of it actually take care of that problem.

If the back is rigid, the springs and shocks underneath don't help with whip-lash. This can be a problem on rough ground and with hydro drives, as they will stop (or go) on a dime. Your upper body has to be flexible.

I sure I will find out what you mean soon enough. I have several horse pastures that need bush hogging but I am waiting on some wheel spacers and skid plates first. I can't imagine it being worse than the factory high back seat that I have used the last six years.
