50 quarts when it calls for 48?

Obviously most here would worry, I would not. I'd run it as is. :confused:

I figured if I'm gonna do it, I may as well get it right...anywho, unscrewing the HST filter worked great. I thought it would only drain the filter, but actually It will drain more than that.. Thanks guys!!

:thumbsup: Ditto, actually, I run mine overfilled all the time... mainly because Kubota had a kit to raise the level of oil for the over-riding pto clutch. The kit just changed the sight glass to a dip stick a little higher up...

There's no sight glass on my 2005 L4330. The oil is so clear, with my aging eyes, even with a magnifying glass I didn't get it right. Then I was pulling up hill backwards and I guess the fluid wasn't sufficient at that angle. All's well that ends well.

That is what is nice about this forum, what one person doesn't think of, another person will.

...Fill er up, start pullin, tractor couldn't do it in Mid range, had to get in low range...
I think you were just in the wrong range for pulling the heavy load. The pump will get enough oil to pump even if you are very low (in my case, 2 gallons low). The "extra" volume of oil is for keeping it cool. :2cents:

When I lose power, first I check to see if I left the brake on (which happens all too much) next I check is the range I'm in. I run a lot in High gear - which has zero pulling / pushing power.

My wife, who works right next to me on these pulling jobs, said the same thing... wrong range. I believe your right teg
