MF 1825E / 1E.25 maintenance

[oakhilltop]

I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a MF 1E.25 which is a descendant of the 1825E. I haven't found a whole lot of videos on the maintenance of either of these. Is there anything that I should be aware of with these? I saw that the 4wd selector has to be in 4wd to get the hydraulic filter off easily, and it appears that the oil drain plugs can shoot oil into a protective plate, but not too bad.

I'm interested in hearing general opinions about the 18xxE series or the 1E series.
