Per the manual... "
Replacing Transmission Oil Filter [HST
Type]

1. Remove the drain plugs at the bottom of the
transmission case and drain the oil completely into the
oil pan.
2. After draining reinstall the drain plugs.
3. Remove the oil filter.
4. Put a film of clean transmission oil on the rubber seal
of the new filter.
5. Quickly tighten the filter until it contacts the mounting
surface, then, with a filter wrench, tighten it an
additional 1 turn only.
6. After the new filter has been replaced, fill with the
transmission oil up to the upper line of the gauge...

Do they really expect you to drain the fluid and re-install the same fluid? Fluid change isn't required until 400 hours.

Per my dealer, change filter quickly, preferably with the tractor significantly leaning with the filter uphill. That was after I told him about how the 50 hour service went getting more SUDT2.
