kubota l4200 hydraulic fluid top up

[Defender4x4]

Hi. We have a Kubota L4200 at the yard where girlfriend keeps her horse. I use the tractor to top and harrow the fields in the summer. It has recentley started to be hard to steer and the front loader and hitch sometimes dont work. Could this be low hydraulic fluid, if so could someone please tell me where I would top it up and to what level and what oil to use. Thanks for your time.

How many hours are on it? There should be a sight level on the rear differential, should be at least half way up the glass, I run mine up towards the top because I have hills. If it hasn't been serviced and has 600 hours or more on it, it needs to have the oil changed and a new filter, or filters. Make sure you put the right fluid in it.
