What happens here
Start the tractor and visually inspect the newly installed hydraulic fittings for any leaks. If a leak is detected, stop the tractor, ensure all fittings are properly tightened, and repeat the test. Once the leak is resolved, open and close the grapple multiple times to cycle the hydraulic fluid through the system and confirm there are no further leaks under operational pressure. Finally, add Kubota's specific 'Super UDT' hydraulic fluid to the reservoir using a funnel to compensate for any fluid loss during the repair.
Goal: Ensure the hydraulic system is leak-free and properly filled.
