What is the best, most heavy duty seat out there? most resistant to tearing/cracking etc.... reasonably priced..
when it comes to seats, "most heavy duty" & "reasonably priced" usually dont go together. northern tool has some universal replacement seats at a reasonable price. :drinkup
what's the best seat out there? regardless of price
bobcat has a really great adjustable air ride seat available... except, you really, really wont like the price. the std bobcat (non suspension) seat is actually a decent seat, depending on the application (and the operator), many of them last for years. the suspension seat is a nice "upgrade" we carry a cheap replacement seat, and sell quite a few of them, they seems to last 3 or 4 years before they are ripped and torn to shreads. :drinkup
The seats they came out with on the G series are nice. Most of the time the bottom cushion wears out before the back does. On those seats you simply install a new bottom cushion and you're good to go.
My A-300 Bobcat has a suspension seat with a reclining back. Not sure if anyone else makes a seat like this. I may just have to get the base recovered.
i was browsing through the sale catalog from northern tool and ran across these.. 1742-1554 on sale $79.99 this looks very similar to the aftermarket seat we sell. 1754-1554 on sale $94.99 1756-1554 on sale $179.95 17566-1554 on sale $329.99 :drinkup
our new bobcat has the standard mechanical bobcat suspension seat. it is surprisingly nice, nicer than our old bobcat suspension seat. I'm sure it cost a fortune, but probably a lot less than the bobcat air suspension seat.
