So I recently purchased a 2022 M5660 tractor for our new 15 acre property. My first tractor ever and Ive got about 15 hours on it. I had a front rake attachment and was plowing through some scrub oak trying to clear a path through some live and dead oak saplings. A small(1" diameter) sapling I ran over speared the hydraulic lines on the left side of the tractor at just the right angle and took out a hose that I think feeds the LA1154 loader. I didn't notice at first until all of a sudden the loader and the rear box blade stopped working. Since I was in the middle of a bunch of brush and both front and back hydraulics were non functional and on the ground I couldn't move and had to leave my tractor in the bushes.
My question is, how much fluid did I lose breaking that hose? Its the one coming off the protected box next to the left side step that connects to the loader with the 90 degree metal L connector. DId I lose all 10 gallons? I shut down the tractor right after the loader and 3 point stopped working and after I noticed the big puddle of fluid on the ground! I'm trying to figure out how much fluid I need to order to get back up and running after I replace the hose.
After I replace the hose can I just top off the hydraulic fluid and get back to work or is there some other process I need to do? Bleeding?
Thanks for any help!
