ok people how is your back, knee and ankles? most scapers dont have smooth lawns and we bounce around on everything. the faster you go the worse it is. does anyone know if they make a suspension foot rest thing? i guess it would be universal. now to the seat two local dealers one is a crook wanting $1000 and another wants about $800. how does the walker seat with weight adjustment compare to others and ive seen on ebay universal ones for about $500. is there a place online that sells walkers cheaper? or let me know about other brands that are just as good? and who is using what? and going from a fixed to suspension how is it? advice ? info? stories? details? let me know thanks

the v5300 for $350? is it that much higher where its a pain to grab the controls? does it get in the way with left and right hydro controls? and dumping? what mods were made on what model walker? thanks?

hey i went from the fixed to suspension seat, on the walker ,this year.
a lot of difference. i got mine from K & M mfg. # 236 i think have to check.

Walker sells a kit to raise the levers when you install a suspension seat.
