Suspension / Seat

[4getgto]

For those who may be interested in a little better ride. Here's two that I use. First picture is one I have on a Zero Turn front mount Woods. The second is just the suspension added to the existing seat on my Yanmar tractor. Thought you guys would like to take a look.
The suspension seat is pricey at around $350.
Just the suspension shown is around $125.
Both do their job and make a noticeable difference.I
Neither were direct bolt on but with a little fab work they came out well.

How much does the suspension system raise the seat? Shorter person may not be able to reach the foot control?

That's where you got to be a little inventive.
The suspension seat that I put on the zero turn I had to add 1" x 3 tubing to make the height I needed.



The one on the tractor I had to remake everything.



takes some doing but worth it. At least thats what my back and my a## tells me..

Definitely going to check into them. Carolyn says her back hurts after she has mowed for a while and the seat on my Cub leaves a lot to be desired.

Most of the time it's not the seat but the springs underneath that they're trying to use as cushion. Though a seat with thick padding helps a lot too.!

I've been planning to add that low profile suspension to my 1650. Good to hear it works well. Surplus center also has one with the rubber cover I might try that one. Low Profile Seat Suspension w/ Weight Adj | Black Talon | Brands | www.surpluscenter.com


Also considered this one, though I'm not a huge fan of the X pattern on the seat back. Premium Forklift Seat w/Suspension, Seatbelt | Seats | Seats | www.surpluscenter.com

Search around for different prices. They may be good I don't know. But I've found prices "all over the place" for the same item...

My seat time is very limited,,half hour at most weekly in summer. If I were garden tilling or cutting acres I would spring for a suspension seat. At my job the seat is the most critical piece of equipment in the truck IMO
