Mahindra 2538 seat upgrade

[tylermowsalot]

After 10 hours of cutting with a 6 foot cutter my back is feeling the standard seat. Anyone have any seat upgrade ideas?

I read a couple places where people got the seat from 2540 and put in on there, seemed to be a big upgrade. I cant find the thread right now but I believe its a suspension seat.

Found something on a seat upgrade. Look at post #16.

I got a suspension from a 15 series tractor from my dealer that was a take off. I bolted it under what I now have. It makes the pedals further away but after a while I got use to it.

The Michigan V5300 is the same seat as comes on the Mahindra 35 series. It is pretty nice.

^^^ I just put that seat on my Gravely ZT this year....wondering why I waited so long. Here is an Ebay link:

This looks like the exact same seat I have on my SCAG except for the color and it is extremely comfortable.

Are there any issues with wiring the safety switches or do you bypass them?

Safety switches? Only my lawn mowers have safety switches in the seat. Changed the seat on one of them and the switch wasn't compatible with the seat, so I turned it into a foot switch. Lack of a seat switch was one of the reasons I went with the 35 series Mahindra. I have too many times I need to stand for visibility. ...and that's one of the reasons I went HST; If you fall off, it stops.

There isn't a seat safety switch on the 2538 either. I'm glad because I stand up quite a bit to get close to objects with the bucket......less hand work afterwards.
