None of that even sounds good. My friend had that question about one of his M9000's but the dealer did all the work so I can't help you, sorry.

That's also what we were told, however you should be able to check the pressures yourself without having to pay the dealer. We do it with our IH's. Not impressed with our dealer support at Kubota,

If I remember right the pressure was fine on my buddy's tractor. They ended up hooking his to a dyno and it only had 30 something pto hp. Short story, had to do a complete rebuild on the pto.

I feel your pain on the dealer issue. If my local dealer was the only place to get Kubota stuff I would change brands, they suck. I was lucky enough to have IMO the best Kubota dealer in the country just up the road.

The tractor had the clutch pack replaced a year ago and she's slipping again. It may be finding a new owner shortly. Gonna try another flavor.

Just for the sake of covering the bases what kind of fluid are you using. Years ago at the quarry I worked at they changes us over the a different hyd oil and it wasn't compatable with wet brakes. It sux to have a haul truck going down in the pit with no brakes.

Not trying to start a oil debate but, that's not the best oil for the job. I have used it in my bobcat only because it has a few leaks and I can see using good fluid and have it leak out. I can't say that the fluid had / has anything to do with your pto trouble but it can't help it either. If it was mine I would at least run Kubota fluid or better.

Just curious, why do you use cheap in the Kubotas and NH and use good fluid in the IH? Hytran works great, I grew up using that fluid.

Makes sense to me. I grew up with all IH tractors and hytran is what we used. I never remember having a fluid issue.
