Hi.
I've got a zero turn that I really like; Husqvarna MZ-T 61.
It's a decent mower except for one thing.
My yard is not a golf course. So driving at a medium speed really beats me up.
The back of the seat has 2 small springs that are supposed to cushion the back and forth motion a little bit, but I really need something more.

Just wondering if anyone has any luck with an after-market product that I could install under the seat to provide a softer, cushion ride.

I used to drive tractor trailers which had a 'Bolster' pneumatic seat that was great. I'm not looking for something as dramatic as that, but I need something.

Thanks!

I feel your pain.
Now I wish I had of paid a few more bucks and bought a Ferris mower with full coil spring suspension.
I bought an after market spring loaded platform for the seat to sit on and paid almost $200.00 it was useless.
Had a new inner tube for a wheel borrow and blew it up to use to sit on, silly me it does not allow my butt to hit the seat switch.
They do sell hydrolic suspension seats but there way more then a few hundred dollars.
I wear a back support belt and lean forward a little bit instead of sitting straight and it seem to help.

When the pros need and after market suspension seat, they opt for the Michigan suspension seat from Northern Tool. I had a JD with a lousy seat and felt like I went ten rounds with Mike T. Ended up getting rid of that for a Cheetah.

Can't see your link Joe, but it should be the same as this:

Don't know if it would fit the stamped deck big box zero turns. I had a z830a. Nice mower, but should have got the suspension seat.Looks like the OP has a light duty commercial mower that this should fit

Nothing a drill bit will not make fit.

True.
