The arm rests on the stock seat is 23" wide. You can go wider than that.

The stock seat has 4" of travel.

I called 3 Kubota dealers asking about the air ride Kubota seat.

One dealer said the stock seat is great and they never sold the air ride seat.

2 dealers said they have sold them but they know nothing about it.

I can't find anything on Kubota's site.

Some info I found made me think it was a Grammer seat. I called Grammer and they said the arm rest on all of there seats is 25" wide. That is to wide. They said Kubota buys the air ride base and puts some other seat on it.

I would like good lumber support. I would like the arm rests to be 10" above the seat.

The OEM K air ride seat is made by grammar

You will need to go to the Grammar website and download their spec sheets to see if you like their dimensions based on your desired measurements. You will then need to decide if it will fit your machine. Bottom line - you need to do your homework or risk buying an expensive boat anchor.

Dealers will help you buy something in their stock lists as long as it requires minimal effort on their part. If you ask them to think for you then they will say "we don't sell that"

Grammer support said it is not there seat. All of there seats are to wide. Maybe Grammer support is wrong. The Grammer drawings are missing a lot of dimensions.

I do not have a Kubota mower, but a SCAG instead.
My seat back angle/pitch was not good for me, so I did need "lumber" support.
Bolted a piece of "lumber" under the back edge of the seat frame, to so the seat back would tilt forward a bit more.
"Lumber support":ROFLMAO: really did solve the seat comfort problem for me.

If you do a search on here on the "air ride" seat, you should find several "hits". As I recall most reviews are positive. You might be able to PM some of the folks who have the air ride seat and have posted about it and ask specific questions. I have the regular spring suspension seat on my L3560 and it works well for me, but I don't spend long hours in it and I'm about 200 lbs so it rarely bottoms out on me. I also generally keep the arm rests flipped up too because I am typically on and off it a lot.

So far I've had 3 Kubotae and all of them seemed designed to leave the factory in "Let's give chim a wedgie" configuration. To prevent the forward dump position, I raised the front of them.

The current cloth seat with whatever factory suspension is by far the most comfortable. It's raised probably an inch or so at the front.

The worst seat was on a B7500. It didn't have much in the way of suspension. There's an auxiliary driveway here that has very slight ridges when crossed at a right angle. When I was in a hurry and crossed it the seat would spank me WAPWAPWAP in a way that only male operators would find painful.

Grammer support isn't helpful or very good IMHO. Their drawings are even less helpful. I was able to find better dimensioned schematics from flea-bay sellers out of Germany.

Look at the pics in this thread


FYI my K OEM air ride seat even has the sticker on the back "made by grammer"

Factory air ride seat installed in spring. The arm rests adjust up and down via the grey roller. The manual is available on Grammer’s site.

I haven’t checked it. On the arm rest I think it is fixed at the seat and the roller adjusts it at the end, I may be wrong on that though.

I have the open station Grammar air ride seat on my 4760.
Kubota dealer did not know much about the seat, I was asking about the flip up the seat to keep PTO running feature that is disabled when using an air ride seat. I also was not impressed trying to find information about the seat on Grammars web site. I did call Grammar tech support and spent 1/2 hour on the phone with them. They followed up by e-mailing me wiring schematics for the seat and safety switches.

The seat is fine for me and my weight 250+. I keep arm rests flipped up but my wife uses them. My only complaints is Kubota has the seat pan mounted really low for my 6'3" height. I can go a few hours at a time before I get uncomfortable. The seat has a N.O. and N.C. set of contacts installed When you pay $1K to upgrade the seat, kubota should include a switch to restore the PTO function.

Did your O/S air ride seat come on your 4760 or is it aftermarket? If aftermarket, what is the model number?

The air ride seat is a Grammer model 75G/531. It was available as an option/upgrade when I purchased my L4760. It was supplied by Kubota.

I PM’d you. I can take pics but it’s my understanding that the kit includes the mounts.
