How do you choose a new tractor seat?

Is the seat for one regular user or a group of users?

The first question that has to be answered when buying a new tractor seat is whether there is one user or a group of different users. If there are multiple users using the tractor seat, it is important that the seat is frequently adjustable so that it can be adjusted to the needs of each individual. It is also important that the seat is easy to adjust and therefore easy to use for a group of different users.
