Hydraulic over-fill

[rdam]

Checked my new L3240 (DT, 8x8 Shuttle) after the first 5 hours of use and found the Hydraulic/Transmission fluid level was a little high. About half the total distance between the marks, above the high mark. Fluid is clean with no apparent foaming. No apparent leaks or overflow anywhere. Unit now has 10 hours on it. Any potential damage or performance issues I can look forward to?

I assume that the L3240 is like my L3130 with a vented transmission case. I would not worry about the slight over fill since there can not be any over pressure generated to force fluid out through seals. If you remove your loader from time to time you will lose a little fluid each time you disconnect the hydraulics.

Thanks. Pretty sure it's the same machine with some sheet metal changes.
