kubota m9540

My pto spring broke and I’m pretty sure the only way to access it is to remove the entire ride side console that covers everything. Is there an easier way ? Is it as big of a PITA as it looks? Assuming all the plastic caps are going to need to be replaced afterwards. Right now I have a big...

Recently picked up a 2010 Everyting runs good but had a question on the loader, is it normal to have to rev the rpms up in order to lift the bucket up ? It operates as Normal except seems I have to rev it up to get going. It is strong and can lift a good amount of weight just didn’t know...

Saw a message somewhere about Kubota brakes lasting the life of the tractor. I have an M9540 can tractor. Almost all work done is about hay. I had a little mishap. Rolled it over on its side. Blessed by God to come out without even a scratch. Won’t get into details. Bottom line of my post is...

My M35 loader rubbed a hole in the hose on the upper right hydraulic cylinder for the bucket curl. Can’t get a custom hose made because one end of the hose is proprietary (uses a red plastic circlip to hold the connector! Anyone have a part number for this hose?

Hi, A friend recently bought a M9540 with a front 3 point linkage to run a mulcher. He's new to tractors and he was complaining about it overheating, then he proceeded to tell me it is running at 2600rpm. I have very little experience with kubotas, is this normal? It seems very high and can't...

The clutch pedal on my tractor was getting tight and was engaging near the top of the travel. Today I made an adjustment to the free play. The tractor operates much better with the clutch engaging much nearer to the floor. It shifts better, no grinding, or unusual noises. The issue I'm having is...

Need to flush cooling system on my m9540. Want to flush block and radiator. Am not sure where to drain the block. Both radiator hoses attach to the block too high to assist in draining the block. Appreciate any assistance.

Any M9540 owners out there that might know the location of the 4wd switch that illuminates the indicator on the dash? I have the WSM and it shows the switch and how to troubleshoot it but not the location. Hoping not to remove the left rear tire to access? Currently the indicator light doesn't...

Hey guys, looking into a Kubota M9540 cabbed tractor, 4wd, loader, Hydraulic Shuttle.. Has the ultra grand cab with air ride? seat. The tractor is around an 08 or 09 model. Been very well cared for. Interior cleans up super nice, exterior looks really good. The tractor was purchased new w/o a...

I hooked my 6’ brush hog up to my M9540 and it basically shakes and vibrates my tractor so bad it feels like the windows are going to rattle out. If I hook the same mower up to my M6800 it mows and operates smoothly, anyone have any thoughts? Typically my M9540 is a dedicated to my 15’ batwing...

Both with cab, and FEL. It appears by looking at tractordata.com that the TL100 drastically outweighs the M9540 by a few thousand pounds. Use of the tractors will be on our ranch, bush hogging w/JD MX10 and feeding and moving round bales 1000-1300lbs. Off and on Semi trailer. Also a good deal...

Looking at an M9540 cab tractor with loader. I have heard these tractors are pretty tippy when doing loader work. We do a lot if grapple work with FEL and move , load/unload a lot of round bales on/off semi trailers. Bales usually weigh 1000-1300 lbs. I feel like a 95hp tractor should handle...

Anyone install a HTL on the M9540? If so what size did you install? Have a 1 inch pin Cat 2 Reposting because some how I first posted this in the New holland section Looks like Fit Rite has a 20 week lead time

Anyone install a HTL on the M9540? If so what size did you install?

Anyone know what the gear ratio is for the M9540DHC24 SN 86399 ? The tire sizing is not matching up so trying to verify other possible issues. Have read the M7040 has a 1.438 ratio, but if I use that with my tires this would mean real trouble. Rear 18.4-30 Front 12.4-24

Been looking over some M9540's the last few days and came across something that brings up a question. All these are cab tractors and when I moved the POT lever to engage it lit up, but I started hearing beep, beep, beep .... Moved it back to disengage, then slowly moved it to engage and heard...

Need some advise on how to put in a pto clutch pack for m9540

I own a 2015 M9960. Today, I was at my local Kubota dealer investigating bat wing mower options. While there, I noticed a split M9540 in the shop. As it turns out, the 9540 had been split to repair/replace the PTO brake. I inspected the damaged parts and learned that the failure was...

Looking for a new seat for M9540. Seat cushion has fallen apart. It is open Rops so it needs to be vinyl. Messicks wants $1400+ for new seat or about $400+ for a new lower cushion and same for he seat back cushion. Any ideas on best aftermarket seat that fits this tractor? I don't mind paying...

I broke one of my quick connects for the remote hydraulics. I didn't want to spend close to $200 to replace so I purchased a 1/2" pioneer brand and 3/8 oring boss X 1/2" MNTP instead. When it came in, the 3/8" is too small and 1/2" is too big. Is it a 7/16" or possible metric? Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased Kubota M9540 with a cab. I am having trouble with the heat in the cab blowing cold air. I have checked the damper door under the seat that diverts the air from hot to cold and it seems to be working correctly. Any suggestions on what else it could be.

Hi, I can't find any information in regards to travel speed. How fast will the tractor with the 8 speed go? How fast will one go with the 12 speed? Thanks in advance!! Matt

Anyone ever price or install one of these on a larger "M" series? I picked up a BIG snowblower and might need to slow things down a little. Of course now that I finally have a blower, it prolly wont snow.:laughing:

The seat on my 2007 Kubota M9540 needs replacing. Would a "universal seat" like Tractor Supply has bolt on like the orginal one? And will it last as long? The orginal one has been on there since it was new.

Hey I have an 07 M9540HD12 I bought it used two years ago, around 2200 hours, it was not treated well at the pig farm it lived on in western Ohio, But I use it for pulling a 4X16 rollover plow, 13' soil perfecta 2large lime spreader etc. So far it has been a good tractor, i got a **** of a deal...

WE HAVE A 9540 KUBOTA SHUTTLE SHIFT TRACTOR THAT WILL GRIND AND NOT GO INTO REVERSE. IT WILL GO INTO DRIVE FINE. I THOUGHT THAT THE CABLE NEEDED ADJUSTMENT BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS A SYNCHRO IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED REPAIRED/ REPLACED. I CAN HOLD THE SHUTTLE SHIFT LEVER IN...

Well guys I guess she isn't a baby anymore. About two hours ago, while loading a trailer with hay, my little girl rolled 1,000 hours. I had a swig of bourbon and thought of all the things we've done together over the past few years. All the trees we've grubbed, bushes we've...

Gentlemen, I have a '12 M9540 with 128 hours, had it recently serviced, been an awesome tractor. I pull a 10' Woods shredder and the other day I was mowing some not too high grass and the tractor started bogging down, went from 540 down to 450 or so (don't recall the RPM), then it would get its...

I can't slide the telescoping part of the right lower arm all the way in and it won't engage the pin. I tried scraping out all the dirt I could from the inside but it still won't retract all the way. Anybody got an idea? The left side is fine. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Hi everyone, I just bought my first tractor; a 2006 Kubota M9540 and I don't have an owners manual for it. My local Kubota dealer told me I need manual OM M9540 HD-F, which he doesn't have. The dealer told me that the F stands for a Folding Canopy. I've looked on line at Kubota's web page and...

I have 30 to 40 acres that I want to put into food plots for deer and turkey. I am looking at the M7040 hydro-shuttle with cab. Would I be better off purchasing the M9540? I plan on keeping this tractor for the long run. The land has rolling hills.

This past spring I purchased a used 2007 M9540 HD12 with just over 2000 hours. with 1353 loader. After plowing with it the other day, every time I idled it down it made this awful groaning noise, it sounded similar to when you bottom out a hydraulic cylinder and deadhead the pump... I couldn't...

Let me say upfront, I'm new to tractors/farming/tillage...bought some land and have built a Motocross track for my son and I to practice on here in TN. I bought a new tractor (Kubota M9540) last summer and after much research (and having the Kubota dealer take it back to his shop for...

Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I just purchased a 2007 Kubota M9540 4wd with the 12 speed hydraulic reverser transmission and LA1353 loader. I am wondering who else has this transmission/clutch and how do you like it? It has 2000 hours on it, and came...

I decided to add the PTO conversion to my M9540 so I contacted Messick's and ordered the kit. The cost was $1156 plus sales tax and they shipped it free. Surprisingly, it arrived on a pallet. Didn't think about it being that big. Here's what you get. From start, which was...

Didn't even know there was a '60' series yet. Anyone have any experience with the new ones. I'm thinking now might be the time to buy the "leftover" M9540 my dealer has. Just looking at the two tractors, I couldn't see any differences other than the numbers. Didn't have time to talk to my dealer.

My new tractor has spent the first three months of it's life in the brush. I consider myself cautious about getting brush under the tractor but it still happens. One time my grapple wouldn't grip. I found the connection to the solenoid on the valve had came undone from brush. The recent cold...

What is ballpark price difference in a m7040 and m9540?

I'm looking at a new M9540 and the one they have on the lot has 18.4R30 Radial/Cast on the rear and the front has 12.4R24 Radial/Steel/Waffle tires. My question is based on the ability to adjust/widen the rims in order to be more stable here in the mountains. Are there any pro's or con's...

I presently own a L5030 and it seems I'm always pushing the limits of its abilities. I use my L5030 for mowing grass, blowing leaves, plowing snow, logging (winch & loader grapple) and misc small dirt projects around here. The L5030 has R4 tires on it and it still compacts the soil leaving...

Yesterday I was hauling hay and by the end of the day the steering was beginning to get hard to turn any suggestion on what to check. Hyd oil was a little low added some but still hard to turn.

A friend called today and asked how quick I could get my tractor and a chain to where he was. My tractor was 2 miles from him and I was about 10. He said to hurry every chance I got as his tractor was sinking in mud along a creek. When I got there it was worse than I had imagined. It was...

The tractor starts and runs fine (except for the AC not working), but when I turn the key to shut it off it stays running even with the key removed. I can stall it and it restarts fine. The AC not working and the engine failing to shut off both started at the same time. Any ideas?

Can anyone help on comparing a Kubota M9000 to a M 9540. Thanks

The man I put up hay for has a M9540 just like mine but a little older. It has about 800 hours on it, hydro shuttle and 12 speed. The hand throttle pushed all the way forward will not go above ~500 PTO RPM's. This is a major PITA as you can imagine. I know this tractor has been split...

Gentleman-Really appreciate all the helpful advice here, been perusing for several weeks. I currently have a CaseIH Farmall 70 ROPS and since I'm getting a little older and it seems alot hotter, decided to get a cab tractor. Looked at CaseIH 95, wasnt impressed (sorry), then decided on JD...

I have been looking at a kubota M9540 cab the last couple of weeks and comparing it to the deere 5093e. I went and test drove both of them saturday within 45 min of each other so that I could get a good comparison. I am a current kubota 4330 owner but I must say that I had my mind set on the...

I have a 9540 and for the second time in about a month my gas gauge,temp gauge and emergency brake dash light have stopped working. is there a fuse that controls all of these gauges?

Hi All! I'm just now beginning my research to purchase a tractor (between 75-100hp) and I'm getting excited! I went and sat in an M8540 this weekend and fell in love with her! (Please don't tell my fiance...we're getting married in March and I don't think she realizes my feelings for this...

Just wondering if anybody has made the jump from an M7040 to M9540. If so, for what reason - other than MORE POWER!:thumbsup: When you made the jump, what was the biggest difference? The cab is the same, there's obviously an additional 25 turbo-charged horses, bigger tires, and a bigger...

I have an M9540 and will begin baling next year. For a variety of reasons I have decided to use Vermeer baling equipment. My preferred baler would be the Vermeer 604M due to its flexibility in making 4 to 6 foot bales. The 604M specifications are a minimum of 70 PTO HP with a recommended 90 PTO...

Anybody have some experience with these tractors? I like the idea of the new 6 speed DualSpeed tranny with pushbutton shifting. My 105S has a 4 speed stick with DualSpeed and I love it. Also wondering if anybody can compare them with the older M9000 models. Any flaws/weaknesses in the new...

Lookingat both new. Hauling hay and clipping pasture mostly. Some light disking and harrowing. Thoughts on which and why would be appreciated. $$ is virtually identical.

Loooking at both tractors new, could use some input, pros and cons on each, from a few owners. They seem to be very comparable tractors and the money is almost identical.

I just traded up to the M9540. My question is this. When driving around I get this major vibration. It does not last very long and then it goes away. It almost seems like the tractor finds its resonance. This happens at different times. I cannot pinpoint the cause. All of the cab mounts...

Here is a picture of the new tractr taken last week in Kentucky.

My local dealer is out of M9540 but has a M8540 coming in this month. After looking at all of the specs I am wondering where the Horsepower difference (10hp) comes from. Both tractors have the same engine, displacement, bore and stroke, and rpm. The price difference is about $3000. Is this...

Considering purchase of the M9540 for my ranching work since my Ford 7740 bit the dust. I roll 4X6 round bales and pull a 15' batwing mower. After researching various brands I believe this tractor will fit the job but I'm concerned about the overall lightness of this tractor. Does anyone have...

I was thinking of replacing my L5030 with a M9540. The L5030 weighs 4,000 lbs and the M9540 weighs 5,000 lbs, as stated on the Kubota website, does that sound correct? I thought about getting the bigger tractor to use around the house for mowing, aerating, dirt work, etc. I really like the...
