Just finished a full servicing of my B7500HST. When draining the fluid from the front axle, I found that the drain plug is very close to the tire rim.
Very difficult to get a pan under it. I drained the fluid by holding a funnel under the plug at an angle into my drain pan trying not to get alot of fluid on my concrete. I thought I would post this and maybe some viewers could tell me their method or provide some helpful tips.
Thanks in advance,

I jack mine up and put a set of jack stands under it and pull the tires off, drain pan/pans fits under with no problems. I have air with air tools at my disposal so that helps.

I had the same problem on my BX2350. I parked it on a slight grade, rear end up the hill, and then used the bucket to lift the tractor level. That allowed me to put my catch pan under the front wheels. For safety's sake, I tried to put jack stands under the front axle, but on the little BX, the stands themselves got in the way of the pan. Therefore, I was just very careful not to put myself in a bad position. Not the safest method, but it worked.

I used a few torn pieces of cardboard from the box that my UDT oil was packaged in. Be sure to fold it so it runs to the drip pan. Not one bit on the inside of the tires on my L2800

I knew my leftover roofing paper would come in handy. I just form a "U" with it and get it as far up inside the rim as I can. Of course the bottom goes into the oil pan. So far in two changes I haven't spilled a drop on either the rim or the concrete.
