Rural King Tractor Seat

My 50 buck seat with inflation......

I see a couple on flea bay for 250 with free shipping and suspension included (but in vinyl) and a nice fabric air ride seat base for 349 12 volt compressor included, which ain't bad considering the Garmmer from Messicks is 1500 clams.

I need cush on my tush because I'm on the tractors 8-10 hours a day in the summer. Vinyl don't work, I get sweaty buns....lol

Has to be cloth. In fact my wife sewed up a cover for the Grammer out of a beach towel for even more cush on the tush.

I bought that seat from RK and also a spring-suspension and it worked out beautifully, although I had to contact the suspension folks to clarify how to modify it to fit my M4700 (a model they didn’t specifically claim to support.).
It wasn’t too difficult, just had to drill a couple extra mounting holes in the brackets.

That seat is SO MUCH BETTER than the cheap replacement seat the previous owner had chosen to sell the tractor to me.

Sidecarflip, the duh was rude period!

Josef, I would be more than happy to point you to some seats to help you out. Do you like the ride how it is or would you like a softer ride?
Any preference on cover material, I personally like the water proof cloth covered seats as they are cooler.

I'm looking for a softer ride and it definitely needs to be waterproof. Thanks much

I swapped out the OME to one of the RK ones that were on sale last year. 100% better ride and comfort than the original. I had have to fab up a new base plate mount it.
I'll be doing the 400hr service later today an take some pic's and post them later.

Well after doing all the looking around, RK still has the best price on that style of seat.
$287.90 with shipping and tax to you.

I personally would get the seat, put it on and give it a try, if it's too stiff of a ride, then get a new suspension setup for it.

Same seat D2 and I bought for 50 bucks last year...lol

RK has the K&M suspension for it for an additional 150 bucks and the swivel plate for 85 bucks too. All ISO too.

It's day and night difference between the Kubota seat and the RK one. I'm disking a lot of hog damage and I can plow through In medium now. Very comfortable.

Excellent to hear!

Looks good. I wish that I had known about the fabric seat before I got my replacement.

You can get a nice cushy waterproof seat cover from eBay or Amazon for for $30 to $50, it will make your new seat last a lot longer. That seat looks fairly complicated so you would need a bigger more expensive one.
