Yellow seats

[Alien]

Does JD still fit those crap yellow seats to the new models? Why oh why did they ever do that to a working vehicle? Black or grey is a much more aesthetic colour and dosen't show the inevitable grime. My pet HATE!

I understand color being a pet peeve but how does color effect ergonomics?

Gray shows grime just as easily as yellow in my experience. And if the tractor is parked outside any amount black seats get much hotter then lighter colored.

Color has nothing to do with ergonomics. Deere has been using yellow seats well over a half-century. You are supposed to put your butt on the seat, not your greasy fingers.

you ever notice how the yellow seats attract bugs when you're not sitting on it on a hot day?

I live in rural NW Maine and we have black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, moose flies, and lotsa other flies (most of which bite!). I have had JD tractors for a bunch of years and never noticed that the seat attracts flies.

I think that I will avoid the next comment.

Interesting comments, especially the pms I got lol.
I put this up so my buddy in NZ would see it, he is a JD lover restorer.
Robert.. I automatically flip my seat up when I hop off as I don't particularly like that burning sensation. It also then covers most of the steering wheel and protects that too.

Not all tractors have flip up seats.

Yellow vinyl seats on open station tractors; tan cloth on cabbed tractors.

Don't laugh; the last time the 17-year locusts emerged here, I had a guy doing dozer work on a yellow JD machine. I was working around him doing some minor work on my green JD. The locusts were all over him, flying into him constantly. But they didn't bother me. Maybe it was the color, maybe it was the frequency of the vibration of the machine.

But personally that wouldn't prevent me from buying a yellow tractor seat.

Been using yellow JD tractor seats for 50 years, no bug problems & don't burn my backside when in the hot sun! YELLOW is the only color for a tractor seat!!! ~~ grnspot

Buy a seat cover for $20 plus they are stylish. It is easier to wipe the grease off your fingers on cloth and then once in awhile, throw it in the wash.:laughing:

So grnspot, that 720 came out with yellow seats back then? My farming background is 55+ years ago and my parents or neighbours never owned a JD. I remember David browns, Case, Fordson Majors, Allis Chalmers, Internationals etc etc but don't remember anyone owning a JD in our district. And before anyone says it... No there were no Kiotis either. (I grew up in New Zealand)

New JD owner, would like to keep the seat clean. I can't seem to find seat covers on the JD site. Will any old aftermarket cover roughly 20" high and 16" long fit a 1026R seat, or are sizes more precise? Local auto parts store had nothing like that, but there seem to be plenty on Amazon, eBay, etc.

Thanks-

I saw a yellow cloth seat cover somewhere not to long ago.

JD has several nice seat covers is various sizes. Here is the part # for the one that fits a 3320 O/S. I don't have it anymore so cannot say if it is 20" high.

Sorry, I didn't notice your question before! John Deere started using the yellow seats with the 20 series, before that, they were black. ~~ grnspot

Thanks - that's where I started. Just not sure what cover will fit, since the JD SCUT is too new to be on anyone's compatibility list - including JD's own site, for most things. Dealer didn't know, and covers seem to be non-returnable once opened.

Perhaps I should rephrase the question: could anyone here please advice if the 1026R seat is the same size as some other JD model (including lawn tractors), or as some other popular seat for which aftermarket covers are sold?

Thanks-

Aesthetics I think.:confused2: ... They look good enuf to me, but the sun eats em too fast.

They make tractor seats some color other than yellow?
