Any one looked into possibility of retro fitting cab sus to a r series.
Looking at a second hand tractor and found one in budget with tls , but no cab sus and was wondering on thoughts about it.
Only other options currently are a 6930 std with tls , or 6930 with tls and cab sus but have to fit a loader.

A 6930 std is a very different tractor to an R series.

Have you tried the tractor without cab suspension? I’ve heard it said they are more comfortable without than with.

I really honestly wouldn’t bother with cab suspension on an R series if it’s anything like my 6125R as it’s not really that great at all. In my opinion the 20/30 series cab suspension’s worked so much better by many fold. And it’s definitely not the tyres as they had been previously fitted to a 6430 50kph with cab suspension so same spec .

as i understand tls in the biggie, we had jd with it (just tls no cab)and was unbelievably good (compared to no suspension before), i now have mf with tls and cab suspension and it is slightly better but prob worth worth effort of swapping...

Sounds as it might be worth looking at non cab suspension units then.
Any suggestions on what might be better suited.
All tractors about same hrs 7000hrs or so.
Mostly for baler work to start with.
We are are a little worried about the electronics on 30 series and r series is there a big difference between the std and premium 30’s in this regards.
Would be planning on removing egr but not increasing hp
Thanks for the advice so far
