10 questions to ask yourself when buying a tractor seat

1. What is the material of the tractor seat?

When selecting a tractor seat, it's important to know the available types of seat cover materials and consider relevant environmental factors. If your tractor is exposed to the elements without a cabin, pvc upholstery would be a good choice for your tractor seat.

2. Is the tractor seat adjustable?

An adjustable tractor seat provides more flexibility and comfort while operating a tractor. It allows you to adjust the seat position according to your preferences and body type. The more options the seat has, the better it can be customized to fit your body type.

3. Does the seat have shock absorption?

Working on a tractor involves uneven terrain and bumpy conditions. Therefore, it's essential for the seat to offer shock absorption. This helps reduce the impact of rough and uneven surfaces, allowing you to ride comfortably even in challenging conditions. EBLO provides tractor seats with good mechanical or air suspension that offer shock absorption. In addition to proper suspension, shocks can also be absorbed through an integrated shock absorber in the tractor seat. This shock absorber acts as a spring system that reduces the impact of rough and bumpy terrains.

4. Are armrests present?

Armrests can provide additional support to your arms and help reduce fatigue while driving. Check if the tractor seat has armrests and whether they are adjustable to create optimal support.

5. Does the seat have lumbar support?

Proper lumbar support is essential for maintaining an ergonomic seating posture. It supports the lower back and reduces the risk of back pain. Choose a tractor seat with adjustable lumbar support for an optimal fit.

6. Are seat belts provided?

Safety should always be a priority, even on a tractor. Check if the tractor seat comes with seat belts (or if they can be added) to ensure you are properly secured and protected while operating your tractor. If you already have a tractor seat but the seat belt needs replacement, we offer an extensive range of seat belts suitable for your tractor seat.

7. Is the seat suitable for your body type?

People have different body types, and it's important that the tractor seat fits your body structure well. Choose a seat with the right width, height, and shape to sit comfortably and have full control over the tractor.

8. Does the seat have ventilation or heating?

Some tractor seats can provide additional features that enhance the comfort of operating a tractor seat. Consider features such as seat heating for colder conditions or a ventilation system for warmer summer days.

9. Is the tractor seat for a single operator or multiple operators?

If multiple operators use the tractor, it's important to choose a tractor seat with ample adjustment options so that it can be customized to fit each operator's body structure.

10. Can the seat be properly installed on your tractor?

Not every seat is compatible with every tractor. Check the seat's mounting method and compare it with the specific tractor requirements.
