A note on something I've recently learned:
Checking the level of hydraulic fluid in my Kubota L5740 has always been a chore. I struggle to see how much is on the dipstick. I shine a light and check 3 or 50 times.
Today I checked it and could easily see the level.
The difference? I didn't wipe the stick and then dip to check.
My old way was to pull the stick, wipe it, insert and immediately remove to check. I realized that waiting a minute or two makes it easier to see the level on the dipstick.
I hope I'm onto something as this has been an issue for me for many years. I read somewhere that some companies (JD?) have a dye to make it easier to see.
Perhaps waiting a few minutes before pulling the stick out to check will solve the problem. Time will tell.
Such a simple thing that has annoyed me for many years. Anybody else share this frustration?
