Way past due on changing hydraulic oil and filters on Kubota M4800 "geared" tractor

It's an M4800 non-HST tractor. I've got 2 filters behind the right rear wheel against the case. I need to change it all. Any tips and suggestions?

My only tips would be to use a large Tupperware type tub to drain the 11.6 gallons of fluid in, and empty the tub out before it gets too heavy. I empty mine twice on a similar sized machine.
My suggestions would be to use Kubota oem filter(s), and stick with Kubota udt or sudt2.

I second the motion. You will probably be OK but if you make a habit of “extended drain intervals” use the best oil and filters available
