put a ride on mover one on my ck35 and it didnt fit to bad, i did have to cut a little slit on the left hand side where the adjustment lever is.

Funny. I just bought an $18 lawn mower seat cover from amazon and it fits pretty good. Not perfect but good enough.

Had mine made at a auto/boat shop....bought the orange camo pattern...pricey but back does not get burned.
Just depend on how OCD one happens to be.
I did not want to buy and ship back seat covers until one was acceptable....

Good luck....

I had an seat apolstry (Seat covering man) recover mine, make sure to add some foam if your foam has worn a hole. It was $100. Ask around your community or search marketplace for someone doing it on the side. Hope this helps.

I bought some Syopin leather repair patches from Amazon (3 x 8"x11" patches for $16.98 Cdn). The name seems to have changed to besego (from Sayopin). Here is a link to the current product:

Sayopin (besego) seat patches

The seat on my 2011 DK35SE HST had many splits and foam was coming out when I finally added the patches over a year ago. Here are some photos:

These photos were taken last June but we installed the patches in the winter (February) when the temperature was around +5 centigrade. They have held up very well with about 160 hours (now at about 1720 total hrs) of hard use on them(lots of on/off tractor) since the install. They basically look the same now as when these photos were taken 9 months ago. I bought another set of three patches to have as spares.

I did not take a lot of care when installing them as I was mainly concerned about function over aesthetics.

Do you happen to remember the item number or description? I have a DK45HST Cab 2009. I am selling it because I just bought a NX6010 HYD Cab

 

[grsthegreat]

No, sorry. Too long ago to remember.

Thank you.

I would take a look at measurements on you DK and compare seat dimension with A NX tractor.

Bought this one last year for Gravely ZT machine and paid round 75 bucks or so.
Then my overpriced 220 dollah seat cover came apart from exposure. So, eyeing seat dimension between the NX and the gravely they were a match.
Stumbled across the very same seat cover at Blue big box store for 50 dollah...so ah says why hey yeah.....
Something to consider and see if it'll work for yah.
Happy new year to all...ain't been here a while. now that house is built been pretty busy....y'all take care now...

Thank you. I will try that. My new NX6010 with 3rd function is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I am doing some minor repairs to the DK and getting ready to sell it. Have you ever seen a kit to add a hydraulic cylinder to the FEL lever pins, so one doesn't have to get off the tractor to change attachments? I have gotten old, and LZee.

Have you ever seen a kit to add a hydraulic cylinder to the FEL lever pins, so one doesn't have to get off the tractor to change attachments?--- IIRC Tractor Time with Tim long ago did a video on this compared to his little "Johnny" Deere.
But then I'm past getting old ....lol... So I may be all off course on it...!

I picked up a cover from Jay's Equipment Seat Covers based on their recommendation; the 18x18 small back, in vinyl. I'm extremely happy with it, after being quite disappointed with the options out there. I came over from Deere, who has quite the aftermarket.

 

[landdog49]

Thank you.

That looks nice. Is it slippery?
