Sorry I didn't answer completely, no it is not a swivel seat nor do I want one. I do like Daves1708 idea.

That's what I am guarding against George. I replaced my neighbor's tractor seat when it failed because I had used his tractor. I purchased a new seat at TSC for this purpose, but of course, it didn't match up and had to be modified. I think that Daves1708 had an excellent suggestion on having a pro redo the seat. After all, we buy a 20k tractor and the seat s**ks. Why put up with the discomfort?

John,
I'm not sure of your fabrication skills and we are the same age. It only took me about an hour and a half to remove my old seat, drill a couple holes and bolt the new one in. My butt certainly appreciated it. I had also priced getting my original seat recovered and extra foam added. The local shop wanted $75. I chose the new suspension seat for $89.
I'm sure Mahindra has a different seat that would bolt right in place of the old but it won't be $89.

George,
I really appreciate the input. My experience was somewhat different. I struggled to find the 'right' chair for my neighbor's tractor. It was in it's self a 'Pain in the a**". I felt obligated to do the right thing for him, but was frustrated in the process.

Not a problem. I was just curious if they were the same. I imagine the only difference is the mounting/swivel aspect. I bet the cushioning is the same.
