Mahindra 1635 Backhoe-Hidden Gem or Just Trash? Find Out Now

Regarding the pins, I have never broken a bolt in about 4 years of heavy and not at all gentle use of the backhoe. I use my backhoe mainly for digging out tree stumps, so it's plenty hard on the backhoe. It's interesting that you've had to change bolts. My tractors came from factory with the backhoe, so I wonder if the dealer that installed yours didn't tune the flows right and it's putting undue stress on the pins. I don't even know if that's possible, but just curious.

Not sure what’s going on. I’ve mostly dug out stumps and rocks and have put grade 9 bolts in. Stay tuned for a later on review and thank you for watching

It could be you are not flipping the seat correctly, or you have a crappy seat bracket. I had an eMax 20s with a backhoe, same comfort seat, but the bracket was a little different. Mine didn't have that u-bolt lock. On mine, you squeezed the latch release and pulled the seat up a couple inches and the linkage stayed there. You then squeezed a second latch release to easily spin the seat around. It was very easy and you could do it from the ground, albeit it was a smaller tractor. I now have a 1626 and the backhoe has its own seat. Much better setup.

My brothers 1626 has its own seat and I too like that better. I’m a little bit faster now that I’ve used it a bunch, but there’s no springs and it rides rougher than heck
