 Topic: air ride seat
Posted: 13 Jan 2025 at 4:04pm |

I am in need of a replacement air ride seat suspension for an 8070. Where would be a good place to start looking for one? What would be a good brand to buy? I am not sure what brand is in there now, but am looking for something easy install. Thanks

If you want to reuse your original seat one of these will be what you want, you just have to order the right one if you have or don't have a factory swivel. My 8050 did not originally have a swivel seat so i added the swivel kit. I had to drill 4 holes in the seat base, otherwise everything bolted to the cab and to the seat without any issues.

Yes, but you can only go so far until you hit the console. Might only be able to swing 10-15* but still makes for a pretty nice improvement when running the discbine or square baler.

Buddy seat is for a 8000 series Deere, and with a plasma cutter and welder fits our tractors pretty well.
If you're on Facebook theres a guy in the Allis Chalmers groups i "stole" the idea from. He sells kits including the seat, the steel piece to weld in, and now i believe he also has the upholstery piece from Fehr that is made specifically to work with the buddy seat. If i were to do it again i would just buy everything from him.
