Mechanical tractor seats

Long days in the field or workshop require a comfortable seat in your tractor. Mechanical tractor seats offer the perfect balance between comfort, functionality, and affordability. Whether you own a vintage tractor or a modern agricultural machine, a mechanical seat ensures you can work comfortably at all times. At Techniek Totaal, you’ll find a wide range of mechanical seats suitable for various brands and models.

What is a mechanical tractor seat?

A mechanical tractor seat is a seat that uses a simple spring or damping mechanism to absorb shocks and vibrations. Unlike air-suspended seats, which use an airbag for extra cushioning, mechanical seats are equipped with coil springs and shock absorbers. This type of seat provides enough comfort for daily tasks and is often a more affordable choice.

Mechanical seats are ideal for tractors used on flat terrain or for short to medium workdays. They are sturdy, reliable, and easy to adjust to your weight, making them versatile in use.

Tips for using mechanical tractor seats

1. Adjust the seat properly
   Most mechanical seats have a weight adjustment. This means you can set the suspension to match your weight, so the seat responds optimally to shocks and movements. A well-adjusted seat prevents fatigue and back pain.

2. Check the damping regularly
   After intensive use, the damping of a seat may diminish. Regularly inspect the shock absorbers and springs for wear and replace them if necessary. This ensures a longer lifespan for your seat and prevents unnecessary discomfort.

3. Protect the seat from wear
   Use a seat cover to protect the upholstery from dirt, moisture, and wear. This is especially useful if your tractor has an open cabin or is often exposed to the elements.

4. Pay attention to dimensions
   Not all seats fit every tractor. Check the dimensions and mounting points of the seat before making a purchase. At Techniek Totaal, we’re happy to help you make the right choice.

Benefits of mechanical tractor seats

• Affordable and functional
  Mechanical seats are often significantly cheaper than air-suspended alternatives, without sacrificing comfort and quality. This makes them ideal for those seeking a reliable seat within a budget.

• Easy to maintain
  Due to their simple mechanism, these seats are easy to maintain and repair. Parts like springs and dampers are often sold separately, so you don’t need to replace the entire seat.

• Suitable for various applications
  Mechanical seats are versatile and can be used in different types of tractors, from vintage models to more modern ones.
