    M9000 engine oil question

    Wondering if folks could recommend an engine oil for this besides Kubota's own? Per the owner's manual this calls for API CD, CE, or CF in 10W30 or 10W40. The only oil I'm finding in CF is Shell Rotella T1, which is a straight weight. Definitely need a multiweight here due to climate/winter.

    M9000 a/c oil?

    Could anyone advise which air conditioning oil the M9000 uses (North America/US)? Owner’s manual does not specify, and Google is showing multiple recommendations (PAG46, ND8). Really don’t want to put the wrong stuff in.

    Looking into a more recent M-series, and one of the features is a two-speed for the front axle. Guess it switches itself to a higher speed when turning for a tighter turning radius. Question is: how does the system "know" when to switch? Looked at the parts illustrations, found the clutch...

    M9540: good, bad, ugly?

    Looking at a M9540 in the area, and wondering if there are any "gotchas" to watch for. Has low enough hours but a large 12' snow pusher. History is unknown, and I'm sure it just plowed a church parking lot on Sundays. :rolleyes: So besides all-out abuse, is there anything to look for (salt in...
