BX replacement seat

[JOHNTHOMAS]

For $11000 I can get you the finest seat made installed on Kubotas. It even adjusts for body weight and has side arms. The greatest part is it also comes with the finest mower made by Kubota a F2680e 60" rear discharge deck and only 115 hours on it. :cool2:

If just hadn't already spent all my money on that darned seat already...:laughing:

wow that's a lot for a seat!

Some people on here have priced a factory seat for a BX2660 and it is over 800 dollars through Kubota.

One of my biggest gripes with my b2320 is the plastic trim/seam holding the vinyl to the frame if the seat.... It kept coming off until I finally put a few angry screws in it..... Not the prettiest solution but it stopped the issue.

^^Yep, my trim has several screws as well.

Update: Apparently, the Kubota seat in question is 6C200-45513. It runs about $300 now if you can find them.

In the past the seats were being replaced free or at a substantially reduced charge ($30 to $40). All you had to do was ask - Kubota didn't send out a TSB or recall of any sort.

Apparently the Kubota replacement seat campaign for the B/BX series is long over.Tractor Supply stores have a universal Kubota seat that looks OK for about $120.Worth a look!Fits many different bolt patterns.

Just a thought, take the seat to an upholsterer and have them add some foam and recover.

I got a new seat for my bx2200 from Messick's last year, Big improvement and it looks better than tape. Messicks was great to deal with over the phone. I won't use my dealer thats 5 mile away. I do like the newest style seat though.

contact your dealer they should have an updated seat in stock at a discounted price. i have seen them sale anywhere from $75 to $150, but if kubota has discontinued that program they may cost more

I got the replacement BX seat right after buying my BX and while that was a great upgrade from the factory seat, I still found the ride to be a bit bumpy. So I decided to get the Michigan seat which has a built in suspension. This seat feels just about the same as the last one but with the added benefit and smoothing out the ride which is nice.

Still haven't got around to remounting the seat belts yet and I took off the arms as I didn't like them.

Had to modify the mounting as the bolts didn't like up with the old setup. It was pretty easy to do.

Also had to raise the front of the seat up slighly as it felt like I was going to slip forward. Used this scrap tube to do the trick but I need to replace it with something stronger as it already is bending a little.
