Added some 1/2” rubber spacers under the seat mounts. Two thick up front and one in the back. Improved sitting positioning. Maybe improve cushioning?
Did make the reverse alarm both in forward and reverse. Got to figure that problem out.

Nice. Kubota seats try to dump me forward. Here are a couple things I've done:

That would be because the switch can't hit the tab on the seat frame, lift that switch too.

Yep, paddle switch for backup alarm for turning the seat around for backhoe operation was swinging free. It also required the parking brake to be enabled to start. Choose to zip tie to normal front facing position fixing the problem.

Like the improved seating position and still may experiment with spacers before moving the switch.
