Well it may seem like overkill, but it's done.

Got the 2400 for chores. Bad back. Need soft ride. Tried several things that I thought would work and after awhile decided I needed more. Found the air seat box (minus the actual seat as the one I have is fine just the springs a problem) for $375 on ebay, no tax and free shipping. Got it installed yesterday and tried it out today. I got the narrow base since it's for a small tractor and it fit fine, plenty of room on the sides. Since it has a 4" vertical travel to the air bag (depending on how soft a ride you want and how much air pressure you run the pump to) you sit up higher than with the original springs but that turns out to be an asset.

The pedals are easier to operate being a lot lower than the seat and since the steering is hydro, you can just steer between your legs without bending forward. On U turns your finger can do the wheel spinning or you can lean forward slightly and turn in the normal manner. I think my back will finally be happy and I can mow my fescue clump ridden, Houston Black Clay "cracked rock" pasture in H1 or H2 and get-r-done.

Good to hear you made the tractor work better for you.

My back is still working pretty good... certainly better than my knees!

Thanks for the replies. Today I got another chance to get used to the air pressure settings putting leaves out on a hay patch. Guarantee you, this addition made a good tractor into a great little helper.
