Well as some of you know I really despised the stock seat this narrow tractor came with. I was about to follow 4Shorts with a air seat custom replacement when I was told kubota had grammar design an air suspension seat for my tractor. Price wise I think it was cheaper for me to buy it through messicks then to try and make one fit. It took me all of 10 minutes to remove the 4 bolts, pull the old seat (went out the back window), install new seat, hook up the wire connections and tighten the bolts. I haven't used it yet but at least now I have back support which I didnt with the original.

This is the M9210 seat from kubota. Neil did a great job helping me out with this as well as one of kubotas reps. I appreciate all their help as this is a rather major item for me with my back issues.

Very nice, is it designed for the narrow, or just one that happens to fit?

Designed for these tractors. I think its going to be the air ride seat option for them.

I am sure you will like it. I have toyed with the idea of putting an air ride in our L5030, but the regular suspension seat in the M8540 Ultra Cab is pretty comfortable as is. I would have gone with an air ride seat if one had been available, but we were in a hurry to get one in the field and it was goig to take six weeks to get one set up exactly like we wanted.

Hope your back feels better with the new seat. No fun to be in pain...
