Pvc Buddy Seat

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Designed to fit many makes and models of agricultural and industrial machines, including Massey Ferguson, John Deere, New Holland, Deutz, Fiat, Landini, Fendt, Same, Case, International, Zetor, various diggers and more.

• Durable PVC/Fabric Construction: Features robust black PVC or heavy‑duty fabric cushions that resist wear and tear in demanding field environments.

• Seat Belt Mounting Bracket Included: The seat comes supplied with a bracket for a seat belt, meaning you can add a belt for safety if required (belt included varies by seller).

• Fold‑Up Cushion Design: The cushion folds up out of the way when not in use, helping to save space inside the cab.

• Comfort for Adults & Children: Cushioned design allows comfortable seating even during longer field tasks.

• Mounting Surface: Designed to be bolted down to a flat mounting surface in the cab or floor area — measuring space and access points before buying is important.

Benefits of a Buddy Seat

✨ 1. Training & Instruction

A buddy seat lets an experienced operator ride alongside someone who is learning to drive or operate the machine — improving training effectiveness and safety.

👥 2. Comfortable Passenger Seating

Allows carrying passengers (such as assistants, helpers, or family) without them having to stand or ride uncomfortably beside the operator.

📏 3. Space Efficiency

The folding seat design ensures the seat doesn’t intrude into your cab space when not in use — ideal for tractors with smaller cabs.

🛠 4. Simple Installation

Most buddy seats are designed for straightforward installation with basic hand tools. However, fitment will depend on available mounting points and cab space.

Typical Uses / Where It’s Installed

Buddy seats are common add‑ons on:

• Agricultural tractors used for fieldwork where supervision or training happens regularly.

• Farm machinery with enough cab space for a second seat (e.g., larger tractors, sprayers, loaders).

• Construction equipment where a passenger or trainer may need to ride during operations.

• Tractors used in educational settings or demonstration farms where instructors ride with learners.

Fit & Compatibility Notes

Even though advertised as “fits many makes and models,” here are important real‑world points:

• Space Matters: Smaller tractors often lack sufficient space for a buddy seat; always check cab layout and seat mounting points.

• Mounting Surface: The seat mounting assumes a flat surface; custom drilling or brackets may be needed if your cab isn’t configured for a second seat.

• Safety Hardware: Some kits include a seat belt and hardware; others supply just the mounting bracket and cushion — check before purchase.

• Not Always OEM Fit: Most buddy seats are aftermarket and not specific to any one brand or model; dedicated model‑specific kits (e.g., for John Deere, Case IH) usually have specific part numbers and fitment instructions.

Examples of Similar Seats for Specific Models

Although the Seat Systems buddy seat is universal in design, other seats built for specific tractors follow similar principles:

• John Deere‑specific instructional seats for many series such as 6000–7000 Series tractors, with mounting hardware and belts included.

• Case IH buddy seats with mounting plates and all necessary hardware for models like CX/MX series.

• Generic side‑kick/buddy seats from suppliers like Hy‑Capacity that list popular fits across John Deere and Case IH ranges.
