I recently added a Grammer MSG75 Low Profile air suspension seat to my ZD326 zero turn mower. I did a blog and added some photos showing the process.

Quest for a better Zero Turn kubota ZD326-6P Modifications Divergent Stuff

Bottom line is that it's giving me a lot smoother ride on rough ground. Previously I'd describe the ride on rough hard pack as sitting on a jack hammer. Now its more like a pogo stick. It doubled my seat suspension travel height and eliminated the jarring on my back and bobble head. So far I give it an 8/10. I wish I did this 8 years ago when I bough the machine.

Let me know your questions and comments!

Did the grammer raise the seat height from the original? Been thinking about a suspension seat for my b2601

im running a Grammer on my Zero as well.


its not quite as tall as yours, not sure how much movement it has compared to yours.

it also has the fore/aft isolater in it so that it cuts down on the "bucking"... some.

my yard is fairly rough & mowing at WOT is like riding a bull. These seats make a lot of difference.

It’s 2-3 inches taller now depending on air pressure setting. It felt weird at first but after running it a second time on rough ground it’s made a big difference in back and neck comfort
