Trying to grow quads with squats and leg extensions. Squat routine is going great but leg extensions suck. I’m currently doing 8 working sets of 9 reps at 40 Kg for leg extensions but seem to have plateaued. Should I go heavier for less sets and reps or back off weight and up reps and sets?

Seems my quads are shrinking, I thought they were OK but guess it was half fat..
I want to add something for quads, but don't want to hit glutes too much I already have a deadlift butt that my Mrs is jealous of..
So far I have two different leg days.
Leg day 1 is Squat + Romanian DL + Calves...
From Monday, because of my new job, I'll have to workout early in the morning. I have time for 45 min workouts (at most). I like MAX-OT philosophy and wonder if the following routine makes sense to you
atm my numbers are:
squat 140kg x 6
deads 170kg x 5
bench 110 kg x 4
(only working sets...

I have complete stick legs and I'm already maxing out the leg extension machines @ 95kg, 3 sets 6 reps + half weight superset
Does anyone who's been lifting for a while even bother with these? What is the value?
I get a much better workout I feel with leg press
I have only been back in training since the first day of spring but am beginning to get right into it now.
PROBLEM
I tend to do pre - exhaustion superset leg extensions and jump straight into squats or leg press.
But on leg extensions my knee joints are making an effing terrible snap crackle...
