Thinking of buying one of those tractor seats, you know, one with the arms and nice-n soft? Not sure if it fits over the original iron seat or you have to take the original off first. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jim- Where is your scence of adventure? our grandfathers and fathers worked the fields from sunrise to sunset bouncing over cobble and clod with the orginal hard metal seat and they loved it! But, that was them and this is us. My to-30 has a aftermarket shock absorbing seat that bolted right on in the originals place.
Good Luck in your search. Cup holders in the padded arms would be nice. Dano

Thanks for the belt information. I'll forget about that idea. No laws have been passed about the ROPS, at least not that I am aware of. It would be a state law and may differ in different states.

You get what you pay for, I've seen loads of the cheaper seats fall apart in a short space of time.

Even if you fit a seat belt you won't want to wear it - go over a few bumps and it will try to cut you in half. The retractable type are worse as they ratched up and tighten up on you as you go along until you suddenly realise that you can't breath!

Is it still legal to work a tractor in America with no ROPS? We're not allowed now in UK unless it is a vintage tractor which is not 'working'.

Thanks Jim. My "sense of adventure abandons me at -10F while plowing snow. Also in the Summer months, my back side seems to slip around, especially on uneven ground. I figure on putting a seat belt on the armed new seat. Figure this will help if I do go over without a safety bar.

rop then you want a seat belt.
