That's great, I sure wish one would fit in our M8540, my son misses taking his son with him, we had one in our Case CX80.

How did you do that? I was going to go to the New Holland bc they have a buddy seat. Everyone keeps saying you can't put a buddy sit in the 8560, which I would rather have. Where did you get the seat? I was thinking you could pull the cup holder that is factory mounted there to figure out a way to mount a seat in its place.

Now that's the way a young fellow should learn and be brought up.

Very nice. That sure beats the way I rode on the tractor with my dad as a kid.

Now that would be an excuse for a bigger tractor!

Looks like a John Deere seat

Wow. Great seat and great idea. Any more pictures?

Used a cup holder frame to fabricate a bracket for the buddy seat and to achieve a better angle over the fender. You could use the one already in the tractor.

What changes are needed to the cup holder frame to make it work with this seat? I already have the cup holder in 8560.
