The tractor is an M8540D 4x4 bought new and has 199hrs on it now, its been a good tractor but lately I think mine has become haunted also.
Firstly, I've had problems with the tractor losing rpm after about an 1 hour of use. I've changed the filter, blown the lines out, cleaned the cap, and have good fuel volume at the injector pump. At this point I suspect the injectors but am not sure if I want to tackle that just yet?? got any ideas what might cause this to happen other than fuel issues. to me the tractor act like it starving for fuel. doesn't matter if its under a pto load or not.
issue#2
I went out to give it another try bush hogging this morning and now the three point wont work?? the auxilary that operates the up/down bush hog rear end works but not the tractors 3pt.
I had another auxiliary block added a couple weeks ago to operate the multiple angles for a straight blade attachment,...would that have anything to do with it?
I will post the results...thanks
