Replacement seat for Kioti ds4510hs

kev0rkian · Feb 16, 2016

New guy here. Just bought a used 2013 ds4510hs. I really like it so far, but the seat has brittle, cracked vinyl. Looks like the Kioti replacement costs more than $500, which is a little more than I would like to spend. I'm wondering if I can buy an aftermarket TSC replacement "universal" seat that would work. Has anyone here replaced their seat on this or a similar Kioti tractor?

I put a seat with armrests from TSC on my DK 35 years ago.
Its a nice seat.
I think it did take some slight modifications to fit. Can't remember what it was.

Mine is a 2006 and I noticed for the first time a few days ago a little area with tiny cracks developing. I nearly cried and rang the police and fire department but no-one cared....

I thought, well, you are now 9 years old so I should expect this I guess. Still disappointing when it is kept in a shed all the time. I think some upholsterers will recover them, however they are not quite the same.

My original seat is still fine.
I wanted arm rest is the reason I replaced the seat.

Tractor Supply Company sells seats. I have a fabric cover pulled over mine which also has handy pockets in the back. Don't know where the wife bought it (some catalog)

My 2006 DK has many seat cracks and splits, back ribbing coming off. Foam rubber does as intended by capturing/retaining water until you sit upon it. One of the TSC models (I can not recall which one but it had arms), did not fit very well. Once I got it installed by re-drilling some mounting holes, I found I was too close to the steering steering wheel even with slider arrangement fully to the rear. I am now back to original but use a deer hunter foam seat pad, mainly as they do not absorb water.
