Great idea Dave. I'm 6'-1" and I find I'm always hunched over when I'm out plowing snow so I can reach the TC lever and gear shift. This would help I think.

What is the hydraulic lever behind your gear shift for?

Rick

I don't think that the cross bar would be needed due to the adjustment of the up and down backrest. But I will certainly look into it as I didn't think of it. Will let ya know.

Pete

I have to agree with ya she is my pride and joy, especially when she is attached to my hip while Cubbin'. :D

John

I have to R+D them first and then may make a few. I want to change the way that the cushion is attached to the back plate. I am not satisfied with the looks but it will work for the time being. I am also thinking of making it adjustable forwards and backwards along with the up and down. RIght now in the lowest position it is great for the lumbar support and you can slide it up to give you more support in your upper back. Time will tell as I compile changes.

Dave,
That seat will look really sharp with a red goretex cover. :wink:

Put me down for one of those as well if you go into production. Of course you could license KubKraft to produce them and collect royalties. 8)

Great place to mount the SMV sign as well. :idea:

Mike/Peter

I am thinking about making a few, I am going to try and get some pricing on the items that are needed and see if there is any interest once a price is set.

Peter I am still waiting for a nice red one for shows but I haven't seen any ad's for one 8) 8)

I also like the SMV sign idea. I will look into that and see if holes could be pre drilled so all you would have to do is add it. Nice idea 8)

Dave,

I'll bet there will be a lot of interest.
