    M9540 Glow Plug operation

    I have a 2007 9540 (not a cab tractor) but it does have a glow plug indicator light on the dash. Not sure if this helps. As one poster also stated, you should be able to hear the really even if you don't have a dash indicator. If all else fails turn the key and wait several seconds before...

    Slips out of 5th gear

    Thanks for the help guys! It's a shuttle shift and I just find it odd that it's only one of the 6 gears it does it in. So if it is a lube issue, where do you live it and what lubricant do you use. I will admit it seems stiff and hard to tell what gear you are shifting into.

    Slips out of 5th gear

    2007 9540 works great but i've noticed when I get up to speed like on the hwy moving from field to field, it will slip out of 5th gear unless I hold the shifter forward. It doesn't do it immediately. Seems to do it as I get up to speed and the RPM's get up. Any thoughts on what it could be?

    Thank you so much. Wasn't sure! If anyone else have any thoughts please let me know. Seems like a fair deal especially given the age of my Massey. I won't know what to do lol! It will be like driving a Cadillac. ***128514;

    D2Cat, Thanks for the help. I thought so also. It does have 3,300 hours but that seems to be nothing for these tractors. Did you friend buy a cab version? Or was it brand new? One thing I would note is that it doesn't have the Kubota FEL though. Not sure about Quicke but seems to be a...

    So does that seem like a fair price. Everything I see online is anywhere from $24,000 at the lowest to $27,000 or so with most being closer to the later. But this is my first Kubota. I was just told the M9540 is a workhorse and the local dealer says he sees them come in with 9000 hours on...

    Have a chance to buy a M9540 for the farm (4 wheel drive version with a Q30 Quicke front end loader). Have never owned a Kubota but have heard rave reviews about this tractor. It will be an upgrade LOL, have a 67 Massey 165 with FEL that has nickled and dimed me to death and they are willing...
