Currently got a piece of crap mechanical suspension seat from Bepco (urgent purchase 3 yrs ago in middle of 2nd cut and straw), this has now broken on the suspension so is fixed solid. The original grammer lasted 14000 hrs this piece of junk lasted less than 1000.

So now looking to upgrade to an air seat, needs to have swivel, fore and aft susspension and fit a ford 7840. Not fussed about high back rest as the current one had it and it was removed in the first day
 
I bought a KAB from Thomas Scott seating, was £500, air one touch riser, air lumbar support, swivel, fore and aft, low frequency, and it's a comfortable seat to be fair, grammer at the time were a six week wait, but not now so I beleive.
 
If your going to lamma buy one while your there I bought a decent grammer ex display for about £400 less than rrp and it was delivered direct from the show iirc & you get to have a sit in it etc before you buy, I may well do the same again this year(y)

Depends how much you want to spend,Kab do a pretty good one for around £500 that will fit any tractor,a decent Grammar will be £700+ for one the same as fitted to new tractors.

Good they delivered it, would have been a right pain in the arse carrying it in one of the free JD carrier bags you're given on the way in!

Try capital seating.
I bought a seat else were sadly before ringing them.
Capital can do a kab air seat with a lowback and fore and arft for £400. Or just under.
