Wrenching on the Diesel Kubota RTV? Already?

What happens here

The presenter moves to the rear of the Kubota, where two hydraulic filters are located. He removes the first yellow hydraulic filter using the same 80mm filter wrench. He advises having the new filter ready to minimize fluid loss. He lubricates the gasket of the new yellow filter with hydraulic fluid and hand-tightens it before giving it a quarter turn. He then removes the second black hydraulic filter, noting it was also very tight from the factory, and replaces it in the same manner. He highlights that minimal fluid loss occurred during this process.

Goal: Both hydraulic transmission filters located at the rear of the machine are replaced, with emphasis on preventing excessive fluid loss.

all right so we're down here to the rear of the machine for the next part of this project there are two filters in the rear of this machine they're both transmission filters we just take one off and lube up the gasket and put it back and then we take the other one off lube up the gasket and put it back should be pretty simple I'll show you all right there two filters yellow and then there's a black one right here and it takes the same eighty millimeter for the yellow filter the black one is different lefty-loosey righty-tighty that's snug from the factory man very snug now before you do this you want to have your other filter ready to rock and roll so when you get this off you can zip the other filter back on you don't want to go losing a whole bunch of hydraulic fluid not this thing again we're gonna rub a little hydraulic fluid right here on our gasket we'll slip this guy back on I'm gonna say we had minimal loss probably lost somewhere less than a quarter of a quart of fluid a little hand tighten this guy now we get the black one off to remove the black when I have the claw so we'll get in here with the claw and it doesn't matter if we dent this thing up a little bit so we'll get in here and twist it off I hope boy that's tight from the factory quite a booger because they put him on so tight from the factory this was the same way with my John Deere Gator it took me like two hours to get the oil filter off because it was so tight from the factory I guess they didn't want Lika a little more fluid coming out of him because he's a little bigger filter the old filter out little oil on there new filter back okay and then we'll just hand tighten both of these guys and then we'll give him one quarter turn after a hand tighten them one thing I failed to
