I think I now have about 6 sets of tires, 2 air seats, 3 spring compression seats, numerous springs and adapters and who knows what else (collatteral damage leftovers), and I am finally getting a ride that is comfortable on tractors and mowers.
Stick a couple of pictures on here showing your seat to tractor interface, picture of the tractor, rear tire size, so I can get some ideas as to what you are trying to work with and I'll help you. How much do you weigh and how fat is your arse? I found a really good, comfortable, adjustable, spring suspension seat for my Branson 2400 that's low mounting, based on the old Massy bucket seat but padded real nice. If you have a fat arse you won't fit in it......but Ford has something similar, sits a bit higher and unlimited width that is real comfortable but not much back to it.....sorta like the old metal pan seats but nicely padded and softly, adjustable springs, sits somewhat lower, is softer than the popular $99 tractor seats with the back with it's extensions for arm rests.
Tires are part of the equation; soft sidewall, small diameter wheel, knobby for traction, fat tire with small diameter wheel for large balloon area run at low pressure....5-8 psig type thing, counterbalance weight may be required to take the load off the front tires. If you have a FEL they need to be short sidewall, rigid (max rated air pressure) making a counterbalance helpful.
Being a tractor vs a mower makes getting soft tires almost impossible.....even 4 ply turfs have stiff sidewalls which means no help in softening the ride there. Low air pressure and lots of added weights helps a bit.
