To be safe... I think I will do this, and use a hose through the fill port in back to siphon level back down to sight glass. Thanks for the suggestion. (I am just a little embarrassed I did not think of this, myself. I was ready to crawl under and back out a plug) It sounds like a little over...

Wow. Clearly, much to consider; and I very much appreciate the thoughtful response!!

thank you! I have not yet used the tractor for anything; only moving it from trailer to park space, then starting it, intermittently to move fluid through the system. I appreciate your input.

thank you! this is my first hydraulic system. I appreciate your input. [If anyone from Kabota is reading this, a few words in the manual to cover this situation might benefit more than a few folks]

thank you!

My problem: the manual clearly states NOT to run the tractor with fluid below the lowest aspect of the sight glass. It also indicates that a fluid level anywhere between the bottom and top of the sight glass is operable. What the manual does not speak to, is how to deal with a fluid level above...
