    Changing Hydraulic Oil/Fluid in a 2007 Bobcat T300 questions.

    Is there a drain plug or does the Hyd. Fluid have to be pumped out? How many Gallons does it hold? Starting to have some Hydraulic Low Charge/Pressure issues so we figure start with oil then, check pressure, sensors, and so on before sending it to the dealer. Thanks in advance!!
