TEK Seating is exhibiting a selection of quality agricultural seat solutions at the British National Ploughing Championships, Nocton, Lincoln, from 12th to 13th October.
The show will be packed with competitions for various types of plough and styles of ploughing, climaxing in the selection of the top ploughmen and women who will represent England at the 2020 World Ploughing Contest, European Reversible Ploughing Championships and the European Vintage Ploughing Championships.
TEK is showing KAB’s Sciox Super seat (pictured). The Sciox range is a complete seating solution for maintaining superior driver comfort and support. Seats range from the affordable Base entry level seat to the Comfort, Super, Super High and the top of the range Premium+. The Sciox offers top-of-the-range variable damping technology, with a heater and mechanical lumbar available as standard.
Also from KAB is the 81/E6 and Air 85/E6 for larger tractors. The 81/E6 features mechanical suspension, contrasting two tone fabric trim, 75mm height adjustment and lumbar support, while the Air 85/E6 with low frequency suspension features 175mm suspension stroke, 75mm integral height adjustment, one touch riser and mechanical lumbar.
For smaller tractors we have the stylish XH2/U4 with pivoting armrests, mechanical torsion bar suspension with double acting hydraulic damper, 90mm vertical suspension stroke and 70mm height adjustment.
Low frequency suspension
From Grammer is the Maximo Professional seat with low frequency suspension which is suited to medium and heavy-duty tractors. This vibration-optimised air suspension seat is ideal for use in heavy vehicles and tractors with axle and cabin suspensions. Because these vehicles have a low natural frequency, Grammer has developed a low frequency suspension. A key benefit of this is it absorbs vertical vibrations and jolts to prevent a resonant build-up that could lead to critical states.
Also available is the comfortable Maximo Dynamic Plus seat which rotates with the body. Perfect for large agricultural machines, its Dualmotion adaptive back support helps to reduce muscle fatigue.
The competitively priced T700 from United Seats is ideal for tractors and small vehicles. The seat features rear pedestal mechanical suspension, weight adjustment of 50-120 kg and a seat belt. A wraparound version is also available.
Also from United Seats are the LGV90-C1 and CS85-C1 seats. The LGV90-C1 features air suspension with integrated compressor, fabric trim, 80mm stepless height adjustment, lumbar support, armrests and backrest extension, while the CS85-C1 with mechanical suspension features height adjustment of 60mm in 3 stages, weight adjustment from 50-125kg and an adjustable backrest – narrow versions are available.
TEK Sales Manager Daniel Taylor said, ‘We are excited to be back at the British National Ploughing Championships. It’s a great weekend of events but it also gives us the opportunity to show and recommend our seats to those in the agricultural industry. Quality, comfort and support are all key considerations when purchasing any vehicle seat.’
The Championships, covering over 250 acres, are returning to Lincolnshire for only the sixth time in the events history. Visitors will see highly skilled competition ploughing and an extensive agricultural trade stand area, as well as demonstrations of some of the latest machinery and attractions such as vintage tractors, ploughs and equipment; steam ploughing engines and rural and vintage machinery displays.
Please visit us on the stand to get some expert advice on all your agricultural seat requirements.
