Seems the Hesston BS100RD is the same seat pan (shape and dimensions) that I found in the barn that came off my MF 35. Difference on the new one was being new, was foam and vinyl lined, and had a spring suspension like is on most larger OEM seats, like on my 2 Fords....without the shock absorber which I have disconnected on them for a smoother ride.
Having the suspension system with a long stroke, like the Fords I mentioned, allows you to set it up for a softer ride yet not bottom out like happens on shorter stroke springs or suspension systems.
The other thing is that the bucket cradles your behind and keeps you from having to grasp a side mounted hand rail to stay in the seat. Height is just right for my 6'5" frame to reach the pedals without having my knees in my chin. Plenty of leg room for getting on and off. Something to think about if you have a little guy (low hp compact tractor) and are tired of bouncing around.
The rear of the bucket seat is high enough to support your lumbar up to about the 5th vertebrae. If you want more you would need to go to the high back like the OEM on Ford 2000 and 3000, or just grasp the steering wheel and let your back "hang loose" grin. But for this little guy (the tractor) I don't think that seat would work for you.
Looked around and ebay had the parts. Ordered it new from from a tractor parts seller "StevenShake" Thursday and received it yesterday....amazing. ebay puts a metric on shipping speed and suppliers heed it. Got it installed and tested today. Yepper it's a winner. Finally satisfied with the ride on this little critter.
A few pictures of it installed in my Branson 2400.
Next to the last pic shows plenty of clearance with the 3 pt full up.
Last pic shows the 2ea. ½" stud mounting for it (like is with Ford 2000, 3000 and some other full size tractors). I fabricated an adapter plate from some old steel I had lying around to fit the tractor's 4 hole landing.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
