I have a 2023 B26 with 250 hours on it. I changed the engine oil, filters, and filled the hydraulic reservoir. Then I used the tractor for about 8 hours. Yesterday, I checked the hydo and it was at the bottom of the dipstick! Where did the hydro go?

There are an awful lot of nooks & crannies on the inside of a tractor where air pockets can can hide after a drain and fill.
Top it back off and move on with your day.

HST fluid measuring is VERY sensitive to where the tractor is parked when you read the dipstick or sightglass, etc. Being parked just slightly off level can throw the reading way off.

But also check the engine oil level since that is one place the hydraulic fluid can be moved to (failed seals on pump?).
