Let's get greasy on the farm today!

What happens here

After adding approximately 3 quarts of oil, use a paper towel to wipe the dipstick clean. Insert it fully, then remove it to check the current oil level. Add the remaining 0.9 quarts. Reinsert the dipstick and cap the oil fill opening. Briefly start the tractor's engine to circulate the new oil, then shut it off. Wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, then re-check the dipstick to confirm the oil level is at the 'full' mark. Once confirmed, start the tractor and carefully drive it off the car ramps, using its articulating steering to maneuver the dual wheels around the ramps.

Goal: Verify oil level and safely remove the tractor from ramps
