Seat upgrade for 2538

DarkHelmet · Sep 15, 2018

Anyone have a model above mine that has a good seat? Would like a direct bolt in that doesn't bruise my tailbone.

Any suggestions because my seat is brutal?

Search this one out here on TBN. I remember researching this out before I bought my tractor. I believe their is a model Mahindra that has a nicer seat and is a bolt in affair.
I found the info here but don’t recall the model......

The dealer can get you a seat for about $800.00, at least that is what my dealer offered.
Northern Tool has a V-5300, supposedly used on many Mahindra’s for about $350.00, you install.

I too, want a better seat, since I spend a bunch of butt time in mine. (675 hrs) Did a search on Amazon for a Suspension Tractor seat, and found a bunch. Some with slides, some with actual suspension features (like a semi truck seat would have, but smaller). You might want to check it out an see what interests you.

I've seen a bunch on the internet, but I have no idea which ones are actually any good. Some people have said the Michigan v5300 was good, but no idea how it compares to the brick I have now.

Well, I pulled the trigger on a new suspension seat I found on the internet. Looks good, great reviews, but they could all be planted. Good news is that it's returnable if I don't like it.

Once I receive and install it, I'll post a couple of pics and a "butt review".
