looked at an M8540 today. I was just wondering how they hold up and if there are any known issues with that tractor. I was looking at an M9000 before and the A/C was out of it. I kind of shied away because that tractor had some issues keeping the condenser and radiator clean. I guess every tractor has some problems in that area.

Let me know if you there is anything to look for in one of these.

I am just doing light duty food plot farming but would like to run a 7 foot tiller off the back.

No problems noted on ours in about 500 hours which isn't a lot, very good performance.

The air screen does clog quickly, but it keeps the debris off the condenser and radiator screens.

Same here, but over 750 hours on mine.
