Will the new 2013 BX25D seat install on a new 2013 B2920?

Anyone checked into this? I'm just curious, as it looks like the new BX seat would be more comfortable and supportive, especially with the arm rests.

A seat from a F model Kubota is even more comfortable, maybe it would fit.

Yes I did and while it is possible it is expensive. The retail on the seat is aprox $700 and then there is the cost of the seat frame according to my dealer. I want to upgrade the seat on my BX 25 (older model) but decided the price was too steep, other priorities.

Thanks guys, I was just curious.

Skillfull? For $40, why not try and mount these to the seat?

Thanks, I don't have either tractor, just curious, as I've looked at both of them online. The new BX25 seat looks more comfortable/supportive to me, as least in pictures (this is aside from the armrests).

I looked at that too - that's a crazy price for a seat. Did the price of the tractor rise by a significant amount too? Because the BX tractors used to have a run of the mill seat just like almost everything else in the Kubota line until you got up to the upper level L series

I thought about putting one of those seats on my B3200 - until I saw the price.

That looks like a nice seat - but - part of the reason the seat from the new BX25D looks like a cool upgrade (at least to me) - is because it has the storage compartment on the back of the seat itself. Even if it was only large enough to hold a pair of gloves or something like that - it would still be useful.

That seat is also crazy money:

I have sat in it and it is more comfortable and supportive than the seat in my BX 25 (pre D). that new seat is also standard in the B2650 that I'm trying to rationalize (yes that word picked specifically) trading my BX 25 for. Emotions and logic are tussling
