Oil & Fuel Changing hydraulic fluid on M4900

[Runnerman3]

I recently changed the hydraulic fluid and filters on my M4900 (@300 hours). All went fine, except that trying to pour all the new fluid from five gallon containers back into the smallish fill port was a pain. I just took my time--which seemed like quite a long time--didn't spill much. But, wondering: does anyone have a tip as to how to speed this process up a bit? Guess I could buy all the fluid in gallon jugs and would make it a little easier, but getting it in the buckets is a little less expensive. Thanks!

I have gone through the same process with my M5700 . I guess a better way would be to buy a transfer pump , but me being retired , I will do it the slow way .
