If you’re referring to the GL4060 the seat sucks IMO for anyone over 225 lbs. Bite the bullet and install an air ride seat. There’s lots of posts here on Grammer seats who I’ve heard, makes Kubota’s “OEM” seat.

I weigh like 218 and it'll bottom out on me and not a very big bump either. Saw where one guy put two mini basketballs under the suspension on his and fixed it. Springs are just too weak. I've never had the L3940 to bottom out and it still has adjustment left.

In my opinion, all OEM [AFFILIATE=1, nofollow=true, newwindow=true, title="Kubota"]Kubota[/AFFILIATE] seats suck. I refitted both of mine to Talon Cordura seats with armrests and the cab tractor has a Grammer air ride seat base with a swivel. Seats today are all built to ISO hole spacing and will all bolt right up, no issue.

Just bought a used L4240 ROPS and the seat is trash. Hopefully this thread will provide some nice drop-in replacement options.

Nice thing about an air ride seat bas is no springs. Just an adjustable air bag. If course you need a power point to power the compressor.

been my impression that [AFFILIATE=1, nofollow=true, newwindow=true, title="Kubota"]Kubota[/AFFILIATE] seats are built for Japanese people..

Maybe get one like this. They are indestructible.
