Ck30, is this where I add hydraulic fluid?

[DK35vince]

Thanks. Is there a specific type of hydraulic fluid I should use?

Yes it needs to be a tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid for wet brakes.
Over the years on my gear DK 35 I have have used
Rotella heavy duty universal tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid
Napa universal premium tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid
Tractor supply premium universal tractor trans/hydraulic fluid
And they all worked fine.

I’m assuming these two ticks are the low and full marks on the dipstick for hydraulic fluid? Correct?

 

[DK35vince]

Correct

 

[atcNick]

How exactly do I add hydraulic fluid here? I haven’t been able to find a funnel with a small enough tip to fit... I’ve managed to add some but it’s slow going and makes a huge mess.

Unscrew the large candy cane looking thing above the 3 point hitch. That's where you fill it.

Are you talking about this? It’s labeled “oil”, is that not for the engine oil?

 

[Peter 315]

That's hyd oil fill and vent

 

[fatboycowen]

Yea. That's hydraulic oil. Engine oil is at the front end. Do you have a manual?

atcNick, It seems you are very new to mechanical equipment like this. Glad you are asking questions. Lots of people here that are glad to help.

Take a look at this page, It goes over your CK30 hydraulic oil and filter change.

Here also, for future reference as you get into your tractor, take a look at this Engine oil changing page, as well as the air filter, and all greasing points.





There are lots of things to know, but these few items are a great place to start.

Thank you sir!! I needed those. I bought my ck30 used and I didn’t get a manual with it, and the kioti website isn’t helpful.
