Operator seat weight maximum

[Treefarmer2]

I have a new, 2025 L4060 tractor with the mechanical seat. With the tension control set to maximum the seat sinks way down. I weigh 240#. I looked up the rating on this seat. 225# maximum!

Has anyone had this problem and found a fix so I don't sit so low?

Does it have room under the seat for this Air Shim?

No, no room.

Maybe keep crankin on that mother. Or get you the air ride seat.

I had to crank the fire out of my seat to get her how i wanted when i first got the 3560. I was probably 220ish then. Wouldn't think another 20 would make that much of a difference but maybe so.

I'm about 205lbs right now but often fluctuate between 200lbs and 225lbs throughout the year.

I like to "fatten" up a little in winter LOL.

Start drinking light beer!

You might be able to get an air suspension seat replacement...I don't know the weight limits on their designs.

My seat in the LX was constantly bottoming out with my fat a##. I'm so glad I went with the air ride seat in the L5460.

Someone mentioned putting a basket ball under the factory seat and then adding air to it. Probably similar to what @Old Machinist posted.

No way brother LOL!

I don't drink beer too often but when I do its beer you can't shine a light through. Stouts & porters mainly for this guy.

You must have the same make / model scale as me…mines broken too so I threw it away.

I don't think 15#s is that big of a deal. That could be someone with tiny legs and big belly or the reverse. If you want a better ride, I'd look into air ride.

You might also look to see if you can raise the seat with some type of spacer.

I used a couple of valve springs from an old Harley I had laying around

My LX2610 seat was rated at 225 lbs when I bought it. I weight 225 to 230. I have for years and years. I set it to max on day one and forget about it.

I sit in it, it bottoms out. No problem. If the tractor is going fast to the point of bouncing, I slow down.

These Kubota seats are rated for Japanese sized people.

You can cut some pool noodles and stuff them under the seat.
