No matter the color, that's a nice looking tractor. :thumbs: I didn't paint mine original and I still love it.

hi Kyle, I had a petrol/tvo fergie before I found the dexta. The seat although old fashioned was more comfy than the dexta seat :eyes:

Most anything is more comfortable than the Dexta's original seat. Like having your backside bolted to the differential. :cry:
I made one trip down the field and replaced the original seat. I now have a suspension seat and love it. :D
