    Genuine sheepskin seat cover helped my arse out. Not the fake imitation junk. It worked so well that I got one for my ElectraGlide.

    These work really well in the summer time...lots of air-flow to keep the swamp-### away!

    Those are good but they do leave diamond shaped impressions on your ### that take about a week to go away after your done driving.
    On the flip side your pants tend to stay up better because you ### isn’t smooth anymore...

    I don’t reccomend Legacy seats inc. I bought one, and overall it’s a nice, comfy chair.

    But: my model, the seat doesn’t tilt down or up - and it has this natural upwards slant to it like your sitting in your own stuff...

    My advice, find one that has a seat that can tilt toward and back so you don’t have that as an issue

    I'm guessing since your wife says you have no ### it's a good chance you're not a fat truck driver. Most seats out on the market are designed for bigger drivers. I had to replace my seat this winter and the one I've found that allows me to drive all day without any issues is the minimizer seat with the heat and massage. Best investment in my truck i have ever made!

    Bostrom wide glide is nice. Get the one with air flow.

    I get the same pain and can fix it by changing the angle of my seat back. If it's reclined too far it hurts the lower back, and more straight up it's better on my back.

    What seat is in the tractor now? Factory or have you replaced them before?
