Ever think about an air ride seat? Beats most any suspension seat I ever sat in. You don't have to buy the whole seat at $1200. Ebay has just the suspension system with compressor for around $400. Just take your existing seat off the current suspension system and put it on the new one. My Branson 6530 came with one and I really liked it so I bought just the suspension mechanism for my rough riding 2400.

Right now I'm awaiting delivery of a 3500# pressure switch for my 1991 JD baler. When the parts guy looked it up and quoted me the price ($165) I said great. When he finished the order with shipping the price was $257 with $18 shipping............daaaaaaaaaaa.
I said what happened to the $165? He said that screen apparently hasn't been updated......my thoughts: Since when?
I've been using the same dealership, now a chain, for 40 years and never got free shipping. Wasn't free to go to the counter and pick them up either beins the dealer was 25 miles away. Maybe my volume isn't up to par.ddd75":5ntlghlp said:Texasmark":5ntlghlp said:circlebllc":5ntlghlp said:I have never seen a .39 cent JD part!

Its the side to side motion that makes my back stiff after riding a tractor all day. Does the air ride help that?
On the ebay air ride seat suspension, what powers the compressor?
Thanks

Nothing is easy around here, our main problem is a tractor isn't supposed to be used like a bulldozer.Hook2.0":xrmk8skw said:Found that out the hard way huh?True Grit Farms":xrmk8skw said:I just ran two hoses to a tractor remote. It's not as good as one that's mounted on the joy stick but it's served us well. We've cleaned up a lot of land with our grapple. A word of caution a grapple is hard on your tractors body, cab glass and the under carriage wiring and fuel lines.

The local dealer added a third function remote valve that sits around foot level on the right side of the floorboard. They replaced the joystick with one that has built in thumb controls. If you need pictures I can get them tonight.
