I saw in Northern Hydraulics some of the pneumatic seats like the ones that
are used in tractors and such.  The pneumatic assist can be adjusted from
very stiff to alot of bounce.  They are cloth and appear to be similiar to a
low back seat in height.  They are about 350 complete each which is why I
don't have them now.
