i believe that even if they replace it, it will just do it again. if the seat is only frozen, it should be fine once thawed.

agreed that if it is a design flaw Deere should do something, i took the OP to be an isolated incident.

then what exactly can he fix? my dealer told me to always flip the seat up to keep it from holding water, does the one on the 2305 not flip up too?

speedy, i don't know about his 2305 but both my X500 and my L130 the switch is inside the seat between the pan and the seat cushion and not between the pan and the body of the tractor.

if the seat is tearing like that, then yeah there is something Deere needs to fix.

FWIW, i've noticed that the seat tear up even quicker when people grab them to climb on/off. my X500 actually has finger indentions where my kids climb on it in teh garage! never have understood why Deere makes a seat that rips so easily, maybe they should go to a cloth seat instead of that rigid vinyl.
