One issue you might run into is the height of the seat with the air suspension .
Measure yours, and compare.

Ray, Have you figured out if this will work? I have a BX 2380 with a Curtis cab set up for snow blowing. I had back surgery and the jarring is not working for me and was looking at this seat as an option. Thanks!

I would also be concerned with interference from your BH-77.

I'm sure an adaptor could be made, but I'm just "spitballin".

I would steer clear of Vevor, they are an awful company stealing from other manufactures. They have dozens of lawsuits open. I watched a video about it last night and I'm like woah. Not good.

Who the Heck is VEVOR? (We found out!)
I watched that video, and it wasn't very helpful. The guy bad-mouthed Vevor without much in the way of specifics. Comments on the video were mostly positive. I made one Vevor purchase of a mag drill a couple years ago and love it. I wouldn't expect it to hold up as well as the Hougen drills we used at work, but for a hobbyist it's great.

I cannot tell you the brand of the seat I bought but it too has arm rests. The issue I have is the rests are about 8" too low to actually use

Currently shopping replacement seat for my L4600.
Not as interested in air ride as having adjustable seat height, and for the position slide to operate.

N.Y,
I put a Michigan on my bx years ago and it fit well. Nice ride when mowing.
I just put one of the Vevor seats on my Chinese mini excavator to get more legroom and add a safety interlock operator presence switch. It's nice and has many different mounting holes. Comfortable but not as rugged and weather resistant as the Michigan was. Kinda feels like my Kubota zero turn seat but not quite as comfortable as that or even the Grammer on my Kioti. If it's parked outside, I think the Michigan would last longer but if kept in a garage the Vevor is slightly more comfortable due to the thinner covering material. Here's a video and the one I used is near the end. Mine is spring suspension and feels nice.
This is a look at the seat I used
