I'm not new to tractors, but I am new to Kubota. I just bought a 2009 M9540, cab, 4wd, loader with 1700 hours on it. First impressions are all very positive. It will be used for feeding cows, mowing, discing, planting, etc.
Couple questions:
When checking the hydraulic oil, my dip stick has two lines. Are these cold/hot lines or are they low/full lines? Do I check with tractor running or off?
My 3 pt hitch seems to not lift very high. It does not act like mower is too heavy or hydraulic isn't working. It acts more like there is a range setting or something that needs to be adjusted. I fiddled with the feedback rod and it doesn't make a difference. Also seems like the lift doesn't respond till the position lever is 3/4 up. Draft control lever is all the way down. This might just be a kubota thing. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Lastly, the engine throttle control lever is also very slow to respond. Zero change in engine rpm until half way point.
Any help is appreciated. I've ordered a service manual, but if they are like the case and deere manuals, they'll be lacking in details.
