I was looking in my manual today and noticed for the hydraulic reservoir tank it mentions to remove two drain plugs. I only remember removing the one at the rear. I looked at my machine and it does have two but looks like the plastic tank has moved some and I would not be able to remove plug without moving the tank some. Is it important I remove both plugs or will the rear drain plug remove all of the hydraulic oil? Also how many of you actually retract the bucket fully and let machine over night sit and then check hydraulic oil level. Instructions say to have boom fully lowered which I always do but it also mentions to have bucket cylinders retracted which I do not all the way.
