    M9540 Implement capability

    It seems that every time the fields were plowed rocks of various sizes popped to the surface. Some of the rocks were large enough that the disk would have to roll over them.

    M9540 Implement capability

    I have not received my owners manual yet - the dealer is a little slow with providing that. My reference was to the difference between PTO and Draw Bar horse power - it seems that the older specifications for tractors listed engine HP and Draw Bar HP and now they list engine HP and PTO HP.

    M9540 Shifting

    I recently purchased a 2007 M9540 and have noticed that the gear shifting 1-6 (range H - L works well) seems to be rather loose and sloppy. Sometimes I have released the clutch and only heard gears spinning - no movement. Is the shifting on this tractor normally rather loose and if not is there...

    M9540 Glow Plug operation

    I recently purchased a used 2007 M9540 from a John Deere dealer and have not received the Operators manual yet. The tractor was originally purchased in Canada. I am not familiar with diesel engines. I have tried a few different ignition positions and get no indication that the glow plugs are...
