    T494 HST Filter

    I'm having a hard time finding a HST filter for my T494. The manual calls out TYM 15532302100 with a new TYM 19265154110 for newer models based on serial number.

    Is a subcompact under 25hp engine enough power to maintain a under 15 acre property where the tasks are mowing w/ mid mower, finish mower, brush hogging, stump grinding, hole digging, box blade and typical loader work? I have owned a 35hp and 50hp so I'm a little uneasy getting a under 24hp.

    Best subcompact for the money

    I'm tired of buying riding lawn mowers that don't last because they are built cheap and still cost an arm and a leg. I'm thinking of buying a subcompact tractor to mow the property and use it for light tractor work. What are the best ones for this purpose and for the best bang for the buck?

    HST Hydraulic Fluid Drained VS. Capacity

    I just did my 400 hour maintenance and was expecting more hydraulic fluid to be drained. My capacity is 11.89 gallons but what drained was about 10 gallons or slightly under so about 2 gallons less than capacity. I did have all the hydraulic cylinders compressed. Is this normal?
