One thing to note - when you check the hydraulic fluid level, the dipstick should just rest on the opening, not be screwed in. If you screw it in, you'll end up running with the fluid somewhat low since the stick goes down further that way, giving a false reading. On Chinese tractors, screw-in dipsticks are done this way and push-in ones are pushed in to get a reading.
