Is there a suspension seat upgrade available for newer Kubota zero turn mowers? I'm helping my 80yr old father shop for a mower.

If Kubota doesn't offer one at a price that suits you, there is a suspension seat system on Amazon available with a variety of mounts to fit various brands.

I put a suspension seat platform on my Exmark z turn many years ago.

Wasn’t that difficult, and improved the ride quality quite a bit.
Though it does help, I still wouldn’t compare it to a Ferris type system though

Not so sure about that. I have a Ferris ISX800 and yes it does have a great ride compared to the $14k eXmark I unloaded it cause it beat me to death and bouht the $9600 Ferris.

Problem I have with the Ferris is way too many joints and adjustments to get the mower just right. Even then I was still getting scalping at the turnarounds.. when the front castors spun. Tire pressures checked.

Anti-scalp rollers are not adjustable.

Another issue was the front tires going flat due to dirt getting into the bead.

I think the Ferris is definately a good ZTR even with those issies.

With that said I just emptied my wallet on a brand new Kubota ZD1611 diesel.

True air ride seat with the articulating front axle puts it in the same league... well really close, to the Ferris.

The Ferris is on FB Marketplace now.
