About the only complaint I have after 500 hrs is that on my bumpy pastures I keep sliding forward in the seat. It's almost like the cusion is pointed down hill even thought looking it appears level. So today before cutting hay, I unbolted the two front seat bracket bolts from the floor & added in a 1/2" flat bar spacer between the floor and the brackets. I scrounged 2 longer bolts & re-attached the brackets. I know that doesn't seem like much, but it definatly made the ride more comfortable & took away all the the "sliding":thumbsup:.

Anyone else have this problem, or should I just have done more "cheek" exercises?

I haven't noticed any sliding while sitting in my DK40se seat. I have on occasion "hit bottom" which is uncomfortable but I figure it is a good speed control device.

Same here. Of course I try to use the seat belt most of the time.
