Seat upgrade for 2538

[DarkHelmet]

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".

I have a 4540 with a nice seat. You can go to TSC and for 100 dollars get an adjustable seat to adjust to your weight so you won't get spanked so much.

Got my "online" suspension seat late yesterday. Opened it up this morning and it looks like it's above average quality with lots of suspension built in. Only thing is it was damaged and I have to send it back and get a replacement before I can actually take the butt test.

Assuming they send me another one, I'll post pics and a review once I get it installed.

Did you ever get that seat installed?

Had a few problems with the vendor. The butt-holes wanted me to send them a list of parts that were damaged and then they would send me replacements for ME to fix....NOT. They also wanted me to pay for the return shipping chgs, for this defective seat.

Upon inspecting the seat, it looked like it would be good, except the sliding rails (front to back) were mis-aligned and locked up, and I couldn't get them loose, nor would the vendor provide any instruction.

Luckily ebay stepped in and forced them to pay to ship it back and refund my money. Obviously I won't be ordering another one from them. Since it's winter and I'm not on the tractor much, I'm waiting till spring to start research on a new one.
