Hello new on here thought i would give this a try I was curious to know if anybody is running a grand x ? Ours has 3800 hours and its going strong but it dose have a different sounding engine as in it has a what I would call a rattle noise has been this way since new hard to explain I have a M9540 also no noises is it anything to do with the emissions set up on the tractor?? Thanks

Some times it's a noise from somewhere else. My L3000 had a rattle sound and I would have bet it was coming from the left side of the engine. Turns out it was the legs you use on the rear of the loader when it's removed. Wrapped a bungee cord around them and the noise went away. My M9000 had a rattle sounded like it was coming from the tranny/rear end of the tractor, it's the drawbar. Like to have drove me crazy till I figured it out.

Dealer has told me its the engine I did get to hear another running yup sounds the same as mine chalk it up as "progress" I guess really do like this tractor and loader use it a lot on my cattle farm

Yes, they are a little noisy. I did not really care for the idea of using a big 4 cylinder engine in those tractors; I'd have liked to seen a 5 cylinder or even a small 6.

Haven't looked at the big M's yet to see what powers them. I'd hope something other than a huge 4 cylinder (175 hp I think they are?)

Nope, big 4 cylinder. They're about at their limits with the 170hp tractor

Looking forward to a demo on the M7 even though I see the tank with the blue cap on it

The M5's and M6's are using DEF also
