What the no mess way to change hydraulic fluid on a bobcat 331 excavator. I could take the hose off reservoir or maybe suck bucket out the top?

When I change my bobcat 435 hydro fluid I would stick the same pump I use to drain the oil out of my boat in the filler. you can buy one that fits a drill and with a hose on the other end you fill up bottles of the used. It keeps it pretty clean, which is amazing for me because I always make a mess when I change fluids!
