Everyone who has tried to buy JD parts knows how much they cost. This replacement seat was purchased because my old X540 seat fell apart. I didn't see X540 in the description but if you're looking for a seat that fits that model, this one will work. I was somewhat skeptical about the quality based upon the price when ordering but it turned out to be a really nice surprise for me.It's a very comfortable seat. It's definitely more comfortable than the original equipment one I had which looked almost exactly like this one. Installation was pretty easy, but like other reviews, the hole for the seat sensor was just a little too small. I just used a simple file to make it large enough to fit the sensor. I also had to take the seat base off in order to install the seat. Just scooting the springs over with my hand and loosening 4 nuts for the base was pretty simple. It's well worth the effort for the price and quality.The sensor activation with this seat worked fine for me, unlike some other reviews stating the sensor wouldn't activate when sitting on it. I would say that the nice, comfy amount of padding on the seat may impact the triggering of the switch. For me it's been fine, but if I lean a little bit it'll disengage the switch and shut the mower off. It's a bit sensitive. I'm about 180lbs but if you're on the lighter side, you may need to add padding between the seat and the sensor before you install it.I haven't had it long but so far it's been great. No regrets. If it you need this seat and it fits your JD, I would recommend buying it.Edit 7-16-2022: One thing that I forgot to mention is that this seat doesn't have a low spot at the back of the seat bottom. The OEM seat had this low spot, and when it would rain water would pool there. I don't know if it's the angle of my seat mount on my mower but this seat lets the water roll right off. No puddle on the seat anymore. I love it.Edit 10-09-2023: 16 Months after purchase and this is the 2nd Summer. I was a very hot Summer this year which made the seat vinyl a little sticky. I think this is caused by sunlight degrading it. This did not happen with my original John Deere seat BUT I still think this seat is well worth the money. I would recommend some kind of seat cover if you leave your lawn tractor outside all summer or park it in the shade.

This seat is awesome! It's a little bigger, better, and more comfortable than the OEM John Deere seat. Highly recommend!

In my opinion it’s a quality product. Shipping was fast. Material feels more durable and softer than the original John Deere brittle vinyl. Was an exact fit for my X350 riding mower. No alterations were needed and installation took 5 minutes. Hardest part was removing the seat sensor from the old seat. Watch installation video it helps.

Very high quality seat. It fit my Deere X350 perfectly. The seat switch fit very well and operated correctly. The shipping was extremely fast and well packaged. I highly recommend this seat.

Ordered for my GX345. Installed in under a minute.Pushed me too far forward. Yes the adjustment was all the way back.Put it on my LX289 and it's great. Adjustment needed to be all the way back.I'm 5'8". If I were taller it would be too close.Great seat. Very comfortable. I wish I would have replaced it sooner. Years sooner. Hopefully it lasts. Seems like it will.

The replacement seat is great. It fits like the original and is very comfortable. I would recommend it to anybody!

Came quickly, easy to install and feels real good, much better than the original seat.

I have a John Deere x350 Lawn Tractor and of course the OEM seat has long since cracked, peeled and failed. This is despite the fact that it has been continuously housed in a shed.In any case, the durability of this seat is not yet established for me, but it could not do worse than the original.It installs easily and fits the same as the original. The safety contact fit fine and I did not need to make the modifications others have mentioned. I also did not have add any padding to get it to activate.It sits slightly higher than the original, and it seems to be not as slick as the original material, so it grabs your clothing more securely. That is a personal preference kind of thing, and was ok with me. I just want a seat that will not expose the foam and works reasonably well.So far, that is the case.
