    adjust the bottom of the seat so the back is higher than the front, major improvement in my case. even my frieghtshakers pos seat had that adjustment on it and that seat sucked

    Get out of trk every 100 miles and stretch and walk around which would also give you a reason to inspect your equipment.

    You can get arrested if you inspect your equipment in public. :D

    I too have sore ##### I was too afraid to ask.I come from a long genetic line
    of boney Irish men with no booty.
    The memory foam didn't work,and I'm almost certain my seat is original
    it has no back lean,and the padding is worthless.
    My left hip is killing me!!

    Ya know seat wear out, maybe it (the tractor) needs a new one. Like in no support. Depends on who you drive for good luck with that.

    Keep your butt out of the seat of a truck. Problem solved and you will be happier and live a longer life,!

    Try a donut cushion. Looks like a small inner tube. Doctors recommend them.
    Don't drive with wallet in back pocket.
