Sounds stupid but if you wear the seatbelt you donāt get bounced around as much and makes a good difference nobody wears them but they do help

Fastrac 4220, or rubber track for just field work. End of.

Driving a New Holland by any chance? Ask because even with cab and axle suspension their still uncomfortable compared to the competition.After another day bouncing about on a tractor with cab and front suspension that leaves me sore at night what is a comfy tractor to sit in all day and not feel like a can of irn bru ready to explode
Personally the most comfortable tractors I've been in are a Valtra with air suspension, Claas Arion and a Fastrac 4220 - that was head an shoulders above everything else.

Reckon tyres makes a massive difference tbh.

My new Valtras really good like a massive difference in comfort compared to the old N3
the newHollands need a ton on the front for the suspension to slightly work

Have you front linkage or a weight block? Most front suspensions don't give much ride comfort without weight on the front in my experience.After another day bouncing about on a tractor with cab and front suspension that leaves me sore at night what is a comfy tractor to sit in all day and not feel like a can of irn bru ready to explode
Tyre pressures also make a difference, do you check and adjust for the work your doing?
Is your air seat adjusted correctly for you weight?
Lastly, if the terrain is rough don't drive over it at 40km/h bouncing around in the cab! Drive to the conditions..?
Correct, T6.175 .
Stotty on the road, cab goes from side to side as well as back and forward and just the same in the field.
Tyres have been tried at all pressureās with not much difference if any.
Carrying a few injuries which doesnāt help but pretty fed up with the hurl in the New Holland.

Carting silage must be my least favourite job. Hate getting bounced around
Sign I'm getting old I suppose.
I don't normally even get a new Holland! Was relegated to Deutz last year because nobody else will drive it.

Sounds like you need to try one of @Colliedog suspension upgrade kits

Theres nothin to beat a fastrac for comfort after that its a claas. Nh suspension isnt great a massey and jd would be much smoother
