M8540 narrow seat replacement

Robert_in_NY · May 15, 2012

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.
