You'll never get "ALL" of it, but if you start with the loader in the up position, shut the tractor off and then lower the loader by gravity, that will push a lot of whats in the cylinders out. Same thing with the bucket, if you have power dump...start with cylinders extended, and let gravity or the weight of the load close the cylinders, forcing the fluid out. I'm not familiar with the 340, but most tractors have multiple drains to get fluid out of the low spots in castings, etc. The power steering may have a separate drain as well. It's not all that vital to get every last drop... If you have a 20 quart system, and leave a little here and there that adds up to a quart, you'll still have clean fluid.
