  That is cool and I am wondering what the results of a 500 km ride would be like to your back side, understanding that the springs will be cushioning the ride but still think it would be rough over a long period. Cool for around town however.....

The ones Heathers Leathers is producing is padded I do believe.What there claiming is they are comfortable(stock).Farmers are sitting on them for hours at a time doing there work.I'd have to believe you have to have a steel back side to go long distance on them.

There are a couple of pics of Heather's work on the drifter seat page. If you find different seats, please send me the info and pics so I can update that page.

I think your butt would have a bunch of little round spots on it like when the girls are touching you with a 10-foot pole...... ;D ;D

Dude what are you talking about about?You wouldn't have to spend not one cent.....By the way I'm writing this laughing my .....off...ok now I have tears rolling :'(...you already have the seat so there's no cost there.You can take "BLANKY" off the 2 up and wrap the tractor seat for comfort."BLANKY" is what Aidan use to call his blanket great grandma gave him to come home from the hospital and this kid would walk around like Linus from Charlie Brown....I see you named yours sheep,but hey it's yours name it what ever your big heart desires.....ok so you will have to buy the springs and that's all.....

Think that would call for a different class from motor vehicle....possibly class B ....no endorsement needed being It's only a single passenger.....all though by the looks of it one just might want to add air brakes witch would require an endorsement....... ;D

Just curious... Couldn't they find a deer scull for the front ornament, They had to go with a steer? As for endorsements... That's definitely a Haz Mat waiting to happen. lqtm

Ya know I gotta tell ya they used those seats on all kinds of Horsedrawn equipment and were sat on for hours. Surpriseingly they are quite comfortable. Mowers used a big leaf spring underneath instead of springs.
