I just did some maintenance on my B2710. One of the things I had to do was drain the hydraulic fluid and replace it. The manual indicates that it takes 3.7 gals to fill. My notes indicate that when replacing this fluid I should fill with three gals and then fine tune with a little more as needed to top off while watching the dip stick. It will not take 3.7 gals. That would over fill it. There are four bolt plugs that you have to remove to drain all the fluid as well as the filter. I did all that when draining the fluid. Four bolt plugs and the filter. When I was done I had two gals of fluid that drained out. Where did a little over one gal of fluid go between the fluid change from last time and this time??? I do my maintenance by the book. It was a 300 hour interval since last being changed and only two gals came out. There are no leaks from this system. The tractor is parked on a concrete floor in a pole barn and I would easily see if there were any leaks.
