Boat seats?

Recommended Posts

formariz

Has anyone used or considered a boat seat for their horses? A couple of weeks ago I was browsing through Cabela's and came across the boat seat section. Not only they are relatively inexpensive comparing them to a good quality tractor seat they are very well made with many flexible mounting options.They are made to marine standards making them very durable. Most have a nice high back which tilts forward. They are a little color full but I am tempted to try one.

For a "non-tractor seat "  that is excellent! :handgestures-thumbupright:

I have a boat seat on my towable backhoe, that replace the stock seat pan after it rusted out. Cost $34.95 at Kmart better then paying 125 at tractor supply foe a cheap tractor seat, and it more nicer on my butt too.:D

Got this old timer on my FEL :wh:...

comfortable enough, but not a big fan of the looks of 'em.

Found curbside a totaled Jazzy.

Arm rests were totaled, seat was gray. Seat folds down, drilled mounting holes (cover 'n padding easily removed (snaps), was gray.

Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Black spray paint, did the trick. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Seat folds down, very comfy too.

A lot of the 953s and 1054s end up with boat seats.  I.e, one of my 953s.

Just happen to have one my Dad put on the 857.  You are right Paul...has a high comfortable back that folds down, and is very will made.

Steve Nice roller is that a Wheel Horse roller? If not Man that will keep you lawn flat. It is a space killer but well worth the inconvenience.

@Retierd Wrencher...the roller is not Wheel Horse, but my Dad painted it to look like it.  It does do a really good job.   :occasion-xmas:
