Swivel seat for SCUT?

[raykos]

Hi all,

I have a JD 2305 with a FEL & BH. Whenever I want to use the backhoe, I have to dismount, physically lift & rotate the seat, (which sometimes is a real challenge), and then remount. Of course, when I want to move the tractor to a new position, the whole fun process has to be repeated.

Does anyone know of an adapter mechanism, or a whole new seat, that would allow me to just swivel around from front to back; without having to go through the present gyrations.

Thanks,
Ray

1*I don't have to mess with the seat to reposition this tractor.
I simpley remain seated lift the Staplelizers and Fel move the tractor then lower them back down.

2*That won't work because the BH seat position is higher than the tractor seat position.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I can move the tractor around the way you mentioned. But, sometimes there are situations where you need to move the tractor further than just where you're using the backhoe, or for instance, when excavating and you hit a ginormous boulder that can't be dug out with just the FEL. Need to use the BH, then the FEL to relocate it, and then back to excavating until the next boulder.
