I just changed the transmission oil on my 2720 for the first time. It only has 45 hours on it but it's three years old so I figured it was time to do it. I was expecting metal shavings on the suction screen but not the quantity I found. It was quite a little pile and a couple of them were bigger than shavings. I filled it up very slowly and I found that the dipstick showed that it still needed a bit while the site glass showed full. It pays to fill a little at a time, allow the oil to settle, and keep checking both the site glass and the dipstick. And John Deere could extend the dipstick handle a little to make it easier for guys with big hands to get to it. All in all it was an easy operation and went smoothly. I'm glad I did it when I did.
