CK2610 SEAT FALLING APART.

[Wilco]

Anyone else's seat doing this? I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow as I'm just under the 2yr warranty which I think should cover a replacement seat...? I don't know. I'm at about 90hrs on the machine. Figured I'd check here first to see if this is a common problem. I'll report back after talking with the dealer.
Here's what it looks like;

No. Bought mine November of 2016, 130 hours. No problem with the seat at all.
Mine is in the barn when not in use. Is yours stored outside?

So it looks like heat shrunk the seat cover from the frame. Is it left mostly outdoors?
I spray Aerospace 303 on mine on a monthly basis and it does get outside but on rare occasion.

Just got 2 yards of this: 5D Coated Cordura Blaze Orange Mc2 Camo Fabric 6 Wide | Etsy

Found a auto upholstery shop and he will make me a seat covers with a pouch on rear of the back support. This is where my 1st aid kit will go.

Show the pic to your dealer and see what he says.
Consider have seat covers made as well.
I'll post pics when mine gets made.
I'll be the envy of the Kioti owners with orange camo gear.... :laughing:

I never leave it out. If I'm not using it it stays in the barn with the rest of the toys.

There's really no evidence of adhesive for the most part. The only attachment point was just along the outer rim of the frame. Make sure to post a pic of your seat cover...I might be interested in something like that.

Just messaged my dealer on their Facebook page. It's 8:15pm here. I've already got a response back from my salesman and the seat will be taken care of. These guys at Orchard Hill Farm Equipment in Belchertown, Ma are fantastic!! This is the second time they helped me out. The first time the owner came to my house on a Friday night to swap out a bad hydraulic cylinder on the loader.

Nice to get that type of support.
Glad it's working our for you.
I'll post pics when the seat covers get done this evening, so maybe in a few days pics of new wardrobe for Ylee...lol

The seat on my CK2610 came apart right at the seam to the back also. Tractor is aboout 1.5 years old and 132 hours. The tractor is always stored inside when not used.

I am going to have to check with my dealer tomorrow and hope they replace it as easy as yours did!

So......if I had to do it over again would I....sigh...yeah.....to stinking hot over here not to....but was not cheap.....like me.....
$10 bucks per yard and it took about 1.5 yards. So 20 for material.


Went to tractor seat dot com and emailed them about fit up for YLee. Pretty much told to just pick one per the pics and see yah. No help at all. Plus the one that looked close enough was in black, really???? black???? WTH are you folks drinking?????
So after a few calls, found one poor soul willing to give it a go, an auto upholstery shop in Victoria.

Oh yeah DIL's cat seemed to be in the mood to model.
Since he's been afraid of me, did not want to spook him so here is his moment of internet fame.

Today have four truck loads of dirt to grade out the future home site so now my back won't be getting burned out in the sun.
It seems so difficult to find anyone interested in making the covers in quantities sufficient to lower cost per unit.

Anyways, have a good week yah'll.
