I wish I would've known that as I only caught 7 gallons at least 1 or 2 went all over.

Must be cheaper to mfg a sight glass than a dip stick-??? I overfilled once. About 50 feet down the driveway and I heard a loud "POP". The fill plug/dip stick combo is plastic. It popped the fill plug and about a gallon out onto the driveway. Now when I check the level annually - pull the tractor out onto a dead level spot on the driveway.

Reading the hydraulic oil level on a dip stick - more of an art than a science. Several "dip & dry" sequences will result in determination of the level.

Having the sight glass issue with my 2320 (plow hydraulic had leaked a bit). I wish the sight glass worked better too - never could really see it that well (10 years now). I've just ordered the dye.
