Most comfortable seat?

DEWFPO · May 17, 2011

I have a small (17 HP), cheap (1998 Lawn General), 5 speed manual, lawn tractor that was given to me for free because of a blown engine. I've replaced the engine but the seat is fairly uncomfortable. I have a very bumpy, hilly area that I cut and I have a bad back.

What have you guys found to be the most comfortable, but supportive seat for a small lawn tractor.

The current seat is a low-back (12") and offers no support whatsoever. My back aches like heck after riding this tractor for only a few minutes.

Thanks,

DEWFPO

A John Deere seat.

A suspension style seat will ease the stress from the bumps.

A little spendy but NICE as long as it fits on your tractor:

Here's a link to a "standard" hi back seat $50 that has a lot of bolt patterns you can adapt to your mower. I have a similar seat on my Cub but it sits on spring tension bars so has some flex.

Seat, Michigan Style, BLK

They have suspension kits to add for $150. then a lot of other seats as well. f

If you have a tractor supply store locally they sell seats, or try Northern Tool too.
