Kubota's B3000 seat is an exact replacement for the B3030 seat. The bolt pattern is exactly the same so all you have to is unbolt your original seat and arms and bolt in the new seat and original arms. It feels like a real seat, not the slide that comes with the B3030's. You might consider it as a replacement. Go to your local Kubota dealer and sit in it. It's cost is $230. I am not happy with my B3030 seat because of ergonomics although there is nothing wrong with it. Is that your situation?

I will be interested to hear what you findout.

I think it is one of those things that fall under the subjective category. I like my B3030 seat and the support it gives my back.

I think at some point didn't Kubota change the seat style in the B3030???

I could be wrong..... my B3030 is a 2010 model and the seat is ok..... not great but ok.

Kubota did have a free seat replacement back in 2008 I believe. I was sent one for my 3030, as the seat that came with the tractor made you feel like you were always falling out of the seat. The replacement seat works fine
