Kubota, B3200
I have a B3200. When I pull out the the hydraulic fluid dipstick, it's dry. I put it back, pull it out and it's full - every single daggone time!

What's going one here, fellas?

Welcome to TBN.

Be sure you push a dipstick down before you pull it out the first time. Some dipsticks will move up a bit during operation.

If a dipstick seals the top of a long tube, it can trap air and keep oil out of the tube until you pull the dipstick.

Pretty clever of those Kubota engineers to build a physics lesson into something as simple as a dipstick.
