Best seat for a 770?

[NickTaylor]

Hello all,

I'm going to replace the trashed seat on my 770. Easy enough to get the replacement from Deere, but is there a better option out there for a 770 / 790 / 3005? Perhaps one with armrests, etc?

Did you ever replace your front tires with new R1's?

Sure did. Got Carlisle farmalls, very happy with them. Also bought power beyond kit and rear work lights. I need to spend a day playing with my tractor soon to install all of this stuff. Have you put any other add ons on your 770?

My front R1's are starting to crack on the sidewall. They have tubes in them so they will still work for a few more years but I will have to replace them at some point.

I have looked at the Carlisle 6-12 R1's. They offer two versions: A 6-ply "Farm Specialist" and a 4-ply "Tru Power." Which did you get? Did you also install a tube?

I did the following add-on's to my JD770:
- Front & Rear Work Lights
- Rear Auxillary Hydraulics (i.e. Power Beyond Kit)
- Engine Block Heater
- Tool Box/Ammo Can
- 12 Volt Power Outlet
- Filled the Rear Tires
