Kubota B2601 BH seat upgrade

Woodybird · Sep 16, 2018

I have a new B2601 which I have been doing upgrades on. I also have the BH70 and the rotating driver seat. My issue is the seat only has two springs under it for cushion and they stink. The ride is very aggressive and I greatly miss the suspension seat from my B3030. The seat has a strange mount and is already raised to the point where it would be very uncomfortable to raise it any further. A simple suspension plate won稚 work. Has anyone come up with a solution? My only thought is to replace the springs with heavy duty springs.

Update:I replaced the light weight springs with motorcycle springs for a Harley Davidson from Amazon. I cut off the top third of each spring and what a difference! It leveled the seat and now gives some bounce instead of bottoming out with each bump.:thumbsup:

Could you post a link to what you bought for springs?

Amazon.com: Seat Springs,CICMOD 3" Steel Solo Seat Spring For Harley Custom Motorcycle Chopper Bobber Softail,CICMOD,(Silver,1 Pair): Automotive Here is the link. If you put in “seat springs” into amazon they will come up and list that they are for a Harley soft tail. Mine are black but they also come in chrome and gold.

Hey Woodybird, How about sharing some photos from your tractor? Right now this sounds like Amazon referral advertisement...

Um, what?!? He asked a question and I answered it. Yeah if I get time I will post a picture but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.
