what is the best seat suspention I can get for this tractor? currently mechanical with a narrow seat well. Probably go air. A few out there, K&D, john deere, Hy-capacity, shoup, abilene machine. Does one company make all of them, or are there truly differances in them? If different, whats best? I have used the ones from hy-capacity before, but none of the others

The material on my KD didn't hold up very well, and it leaks down over a period of 2-3 days. It was one of the first they made so things might be better. A John Deere area guy came and took pictures of it after I had it installed, if that means anything.

I have installed two k&m seat kits and had no issues what so ever then I bought a air seat from Deere and it was great until we used it then airlines under it got pinched and have you ever planted 500 acres of beans with the seat two inches offof the floor and no cushion the word that I would use is sucks so my vote is k&m all the way and yes after redoing the airlines Deere seats fine now
