Iseki tl1900 need help with hydraulics

I have a 1985 iseki tl1900. Can anybody tell me about the hydraulics on this tractor. Should I use standard tractor hydraulic fluid and does it go in on top of the transmission? Also how much does it hold. I have read some other stuff on it and I think there is supposed to be a dipstick on top of the transmission housing but mine only has a cap there. Thanks for any help on thus subject.

The way i interpret this schematic under the hood of my TL1900 is that it takes 32 litres:

Forgot to answer your other questions.

Hydraulic circuit and transmission share the oil, all the Iseki manual of similar tractors state that the oil to be used is gear oil SAE 80

Thanks olom. Is the hydraulics very strong on your tractor? I am trying to run a log splitter with a 4.5 inch cylinder on it and my tractor hydraulics is not strong enough to split a piece of wood with it. Sorry it took me so long to respond back to you.

I wouldn't know how strong the hydraulic is on my tractor, i just use it to raise the 3 point, never tried to raise more than 300 something kilos, it had no problem lifting the weight but that doesn't say much.

My three point seems to work fine. I have to give it a little gas to lift some thing. I don't know if that is normal or not.

Mine has no problem lifting at idle with the kind of weight i mentioned.

Hello olom, are you using SAE 80 oil for your transmission/hydraulics? Thanks.

The guy i bought the tractor from changed the oil before sending the tractor but i never asked what he put in and never changed the oil myself, short answer : i dont know.
