Air Seat BX-1870

Pirate · May 21, 2017

This place Turfseats.com - KUBOTA BX SERIES KM 136 SEAT KITS says they have seat for 1870.

Trying to find out if anyone has tried putting one on the 1870.

I tried an aftermarket seat before (detroit I think) but I sat too high so returned it.

Anyone?

Thanks.

I would like to have a suspension seat on my BX, but that one is very expensive, and I don't think it's wide enough for my substantial derriere. Be nice to know if someone else has tried one out, though...

Subscribing... I'd love to find one for my BX1860.

Any suspension seat will sit higher.

True that. I can handle a small bit higher. The seat I am looking at is about 2" higher.

I ended up going with the seat I linked above but mechanical vs. air. Price difference was around 300 and after talking to reps, mechanical won out for ride. This is a Grammer seat. This company gets the seats and then makes the adapter plate so they fit on my 1870. My back will appreciate this extra cost and if it is a bit higher, I will have to get used to it.
