I can't see anything about chg the hydro filter???

It appears that many of the Korean built tractors manuals are somewhat poor in their translation to the English language.

The hydrostatic transmission sump is also the hydraulic sump. So, engine oil filter and the two hydraulic/hydro filters would be expected IMO.

I was refering to the above post on an easy way to chg the hydro filter...

You did what at 50,150,300??? Engine oil and filter and both hydro filters??? Where did you buy the filters?

I changed engine oil & filter, the hydro filter, and the hydraulic filter at 50, 150, and 300 hrs just for extra measure, I have not changed the hydraulic oil yet.

You will not lose much oil changing the Hydro transmission filter, but when you change the main Hydraulic filter oil will pour out like crazy (use the shop-vac method)

I get my filters from NAPA (fleet discount)

??? No detail...just says stick a cone adapter in thhe fill hole....is the a detailed explanation anywhere????

When I stuck the shop vac cone in the fill hole all the way it did not touch the oil. I had the wife hold it tight and turned on the shop vac while I spun the old filter off and spun the new one on. The shop vac did not suck up any oil. No mess, worked way better than expected.

OK couple? 's....which filter loses the oil, the upper one behind the kick panel or the other larger one?....and wouldn't you be better off just using a clean drain pan and filtering the oil to put back in??...seems like my shop vac would suck the oil out of the sump
