Brand new B2650. No matter how far forward or back I adjust the seat it rocks back and forth even on slight bumps in the field and I can hear and feel the thump repeatedly even over the engine noise and wearing ear muffs. Is this poor engineering or is there something I can do? All the seat bolts are tight, just appears the adjustment rack has slots wider than the adjusting lever body.

I drove 4 B2650's before I got mine, and no rock or wobble noticed, so I think something must be out of whack on yours. Complain to dealer, he should be willing to troubleshoot and fix it.

Mine has had that rocking since the day I got it. There is slop in the pivot pin that allows seat to tilt forward and also in the track that allows it to move forward and backward. It is a little disconcerting, as my $100 TSC seat that I put on my B2400 never exhibited these traits, but I just tolerate it until I can figure out how to eliminate it!
