Hydraulic fluid levels

[DannyLobster]

While working with my new grapple, I checked the fluid and it appeared empty. After a few moments of panic and a run up to the barn, I realized I was at a good angle when I checked. When I leveled out It seemed fine. No leaks detected. It did get me thinking. I work on hills a lot. Well over 50 % of my seat time is pointed down hill. And it is steep.
Could this cause any damage? Should I add extra fluid? Can I overfill it?

I think that you will be alright. They figure that owners will take their tractors on steep slopes and compensate for it. See where I take mine.
