Just bought this tractor and its been great. I noticed a puddle of hydraulic fluid under it tonight. It looks like I bent up the hydraulic pipe and its leaking. We have been clearing some land and using the grapple to clean up and stack. I guess I took a stick up into it. Self inflicted, but what a poor place to run an important line. My old L3600 has them tucked up and protected better.

All of todays tractors have tender underbellies. 1980 and older ag tractors have very few items underneath that attract sticks and such.
Shop vac in fill port may help. I’ve never done it, but have read others have good success while changing filters. Work quick!
In my hands that sounds like a gigantic mess!! I went to Lowes and bought some new 5 gal buckets and I am just going to drain the fluid and put it back in.
Probably good thinking. I’ve done filters fast and only lost a few quarts or so. But with that hardline being on the bottom, it’s gonna flow I believe!
