massey ferguson 1540

I have a massey ferguson 1540 & am not sure if the linkage is regular agri linkage size or smaller compact tractor linkage - how can I measure or find out? silly question maybe, but I dont have an owners manual

I am checking out a quite used MF 1540 compact tractor. It looks to be in reasonable used state, but I note that it has no hydraulic SVC hookups. Is there a straightforward way to plumb in a valve and outlets to let me run a tedder with hyraulic lift arms. I can't see any current setup for...

I'm sure there are a million of these threads, but hoping you guys can help me narrow the field a bit. I've been pulling utility trailers with my old subaru forester for a long time so I have some experience with trailers. My subaru is toast so I'd like to finally buy a truck! I have a Massey...

I got sick of seeing exhaust bouncing off my loader, going back to me as I drive forward. Very obvious at night.

Hi, I am looking for a loader for my Massey Ferguson 1540. It looks like the standard model loader for my tractor is 1525 and it looks like a DL120 will work. Does anyone know if there are other model loaders out there that will work? Doe anyone know where to find a Massey-Ferguson 1525 or...

I never changed my hydraulic fluid myself before. I drained the old fluid, installed a new Agco filter and added the 8 gallons of 303 tractor fluid. Now the hydraulics are dead. A couple of things I am not sure about: I have a MF 1525 FE loader, do I need more fluid than the 8.2 gallons...

I want to hook up a rear work light on my mf1540. I found the holes where the oem light is supposed to mount. There is one needle connector behind the mounting place and two maybe three on the other side? What are all of them for? Is there an option for another light? Also. My tractor came...

I need help identifying the name of, and where to buy the 1" low pressure hydraulic pipe that runs from the filter located under the tractor near the right side step, to the back of the gear box(??). I don't know if it's called a gear box or not. The tractor is a Massey Ferguson MF 1540. A big...

Hello, Checking for some advice on a price for an 2008 MF 1540 4x4 w/shuttle shift and loader, Curtis cab, and 178hrs. Asking price is 19,500.00. In speaking with a friend who works at a MF dealer he said the tractor itself is only worth around 15,500.00 and the aftermarket cab would bring...

According to the owner manual "All positions (except float) will return to neutral position when lever is released." Problem is that the bucket frequently (though definitely NOT every time) fails to return to center after rolling forward, or lowering bucket. This results in lifting the tractor...

Does anyone know if the MF1540 is available with the Power Shuttle Transmission?

We are looking at a MF1540 with 100 hrs with FEL. The dealer is asking 20,500 but I think he is willing to come off of that price. Question...We live just west of Kansas City where the winters can get down to 15-20 degrees on regular basis and down to zero on occasion. If I keep the tractor in a...

Hey All- I embarked on the 50 hour service on my MF 1540 Hydro (actually the Challenger version with Masssey stickers). The engine oil change went well and presented no issues. The hydro transmission service caused 2 issues: 1. The dealer only gave (sold) me 1 transmission filter and the...

Hi, I'm looking at a used MF 1540 with a Woods BH-90 BH. I don't know much about this model size but can anyone tell me if the 1540 is adequately sized for a 9 ft BH? The BH listed ontheir website seems to be closer to an 8 ft (100")? Also as a used (albeit low hours) with the Woods BH-90, on...

Hello! I've been reading the forums here for a while and really appreciate all the good information I've been able to gather. I'm looking at purchasing a new tractor and really like the looks of the MF 1540. I had originally been looking at the 1533, but it appears the price increase is not...

Hi to all. I'm new here on the site. I've had my 1540 for 2 years now. I see that my seat is tearing at the side where the vinyl meets the frame-work. Anybody else experiencing this?

Does anyone know what # oil filter I need for my Tractor? The Engine is a Iseki diesel E3CDT. Is there somewhere that has a crossover reference number? I want to purchase it at an Advanced Auto Parts Store. I will be taking it in to my dealer in a month or so.

Watching this forum as a newbie has taught me a lot. I recently purchased (private sale) a MF 1540 FEL, BH, Pallet forks. The KK 5; Rotary, and KK 6' RFM on it;s way. I have the 3PH arms and top arm but am missing pins. There is no close MF dealer near me, however I do have access to a company...

I got my MF 1540 with a 1525 loader September 2005. A couple of times the hydraulic line connection under the platform came loose and leaked fluid. It was the line for the forward tilt of the bucket. When the bucket wouldn't tip is when I would realize it was loose again. I could not see any...

Hey guys, i was just wanting an opinion here, i seen a New idea 5406 disk mower in the paper which is 5 foot 6 inch and requires 30hp and weighs 1100lbs. I am wanting a disk mower to run on my 1540 4wd Mf with loader. I am currently using a NH 451 sickle mower, and using a roll bar hay rake...

I need some advice on proper RPM setting. I spent a few hours this weekend pulling around a box blade and it didn't take long to notice the difference between this and my old TO. With my old tractor I needed nearly full RPM to get much done; not so with the 1540. What RPM should I be using...

OK, this appears to be the place where all pricing questions should be posted. I am comparing a Kubota L3830 w/ a FEL to a MF 1540 w/ a FEL. I have not decided which transmission, leaning towards a HST, and am undecided on the loader but think I want the larger lifting capacity of the 723. Is...

I posted a message for information on the Iseki TG5390 and Kubota L3130 a few days ago. I have since found out that variants of the Iseki TG5390 are sold in the States as the Massey Ferguson 1540 and Agco ST41. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of these tractors would be appreciated...

Hello, I have been comparing tractors around 40 hp for use in grading, plowing, and small scale logging. My altitude (>9000 ft) has pushed me toward Turbos. I've gotten alot of great advice from folks on the general "buying/pricing/comparison" thread. The CAT 275B and MF 1440/1540 are two of...
