Hello, I'm new to this site and I'm a first time Kubota owner. However, I ran the heck out of my Dad's B7100 when I was growing up and man did I love that tractor.:D

I'm trying to figure out if this is possible...and if so what is the cost and how do I do it (part numbers do I need). Will the seat itself work or do I need the entire seat support bracket below the seat?

Has anyone with an BX18xx series tractor with the low-back seat upgraded to the higher model high-back seat? I was told by my dealer that the seat wiring/switches are different between the two. My BX1880 only has one wire and the higher models have two. I also looked into the 23S model which is a high-back seat yet a different seat from the BX23's and BX26's model...but still cant figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That would be the huge rub in this switch of seats.......getting the @#$%@#$# safety switches to behave.....


Not sure you could replace the seat with another and have all the switches work.....then again, you couuulllllldddd bypass them thar switches.....and replace the seat.......
