Does anyone know of a manufacturer who offers an air suspension swivel seat that would fit the M59? Basic mounting looks easy enough; the cab floor is flat and made of a heavy enough plate of steel with plenty of safe places to drill and bolt to.
In keeping with the smaller operator/cab area - and for maintaining enough foot&knee clearance when swinging into backhoe position - the overall size of the seat needs to be slightly smaller than a full size commercial backhoe like the JD, Case, & Cat.
A standard seat might fit -has anyone tried it? And if it does turn out to matter, which aftermarket seat is the smallest?
thanks,
