Added UDT after a filter change and while a little hard to see the fluid on the stick, it seems about 1/8” over full.
Should I drain or am I ok?

I would not drain, operate your tractor and check it again a day or so later. I would not be worried if it stayed 1/8" over, it has a reservoir and 1/8" is not going to hurt anything. If it drops below full I would top back up to full.

You mentioned using the UDT. Should be using the SUPER UTD, however the regular UDT is not bad. I would worry about an 1/8" either. Did you fill the hyd. filter some prior to installing? Whole another issue of do's and don'ts. Just saying. If you did not, new filter will take up some UDT.
