    M-9540 pops out of second gear

    It pops out at random times, so I have not held my hand on the lever to try to hold it in place, but will try (just got it back yesterday, and tried it this morning with one trailer of 11 round bales pulled through some snow). The parking brake lever is part of the shifter assembly. In the past...

    M-9540 pops out of second gear

    Hi, I have a Kubota 2007 M 9540 (w/cab) that I purchased new. It recently started poping out of second gear. A bit less than 4500 hours on the machine. Local guy known for his wizardry removed the transmission cover and inspected. Everything looked new. Put it back together but then it was...

    Kubota M9540

    I have a 2007 and 2012 M 9540. I bought the newer one as I did not want the extra parts of the newer model, and it matched my old one, an advantage with parts, etc. The old one has over 4000 hours, the newer almost 1000. No serious problems. The fact I bought a second speaks my satisfaction. I...

    which new trator to buy

    I have a 2007 and 2011 M-9540. The 2007 was an early one, serial # in the low 50,000s. I liked the first so much I bought a second. Problems have been few, and most of them have been redesigned on the newer tractor. The 2007 is has close to 4,000 hours. A recent oil test said she was in prime...

    Getting rid of thistles

    I have a couple cows that have taken to eating thistle. I have heard if you spray them with diluted molasses the cows will eat them for the sweet, and then decide that they make a pretty good meal and will continue to eat them. We are grass fed and my customers would not like me feeding my cows...
