Found these tractor style seats on line-about the same size as the plastic buggy seats many of us have that are so uncomfortable.
These are about the same size and look like they could bolt in to the floorboard with no brackets.
What do y'all think? Anybody ever tried one?

I use this buggy only in the woods and on trails..no high speed runs. To me, these seats are the same as far as low back plastic ones, I think I'd be safe with no headrest.
I found that Tractor Supply has the same seat-probably made by the same company. Going to get one and try it for size and fit. Can do this locally without having to order on line. |

Just to let anyone know.. I got a seat from tractor supply yesterday and its not for me. Too small. Makes the plastic ones seem good.
Oh well..... will be returning. |

the plastic buggy seat was designed by Steve McQueen, and sized to fit his scrawny self.

| I like seats from the junkyard, they have great cushion, there's always some cool ones and they're really cheap. |

Should work fine if you are only 5' tall.

Corbeau- $300 a pop delivered. Not jacking up your back and dealing with it for 40 years and counting, priceless.

| I have looked at the Corbeua seats..look great. My problem is fit. I cannot go wider than about 19" on each seat due to the width of my frame. The seat bottoms of the plastic ones touch each other as it is. |
