Is the full travel of this seat only 1 inch?
-
mtnrng· 9 years ago
Yes, I was concerned about this when I ordered mine. but after making a couple laps in the yard at varying speeds and small adjustments I found the sweet spot, When I said small adjustments turning the knob 1/8 a turn makes a difference, I very rarely bottom the suspension out and it still has a smooth floatly ride.

carwasher· 9 years ago
yes, my experience with this unit is that it does not make a smooth ride as per say. It does how ever take the jolts to the small of the back away giving you the ability to mow and be able to get up, if you know what I mean.
the full travel is only one inch when adjusted to your weight taking the bottoming out effect away when crossing the yard or field when mowing.Helpful?
