Ask yourself the same about motor oil and filter in an engine. Ever seen an engine where the oil is so dirty and thick that it clogs the filter and passages? Many an engine has needed to be rebuilt due to the damage caused by that. The same goes for low level of oil, especially if the engine is using hydraulic lifters. If they can't pump up do to dirt or low level, well...
As I pointed out a day ago about someone's Deere 950 that won't raise an implement more than 8" off of the ground. It shares tha same hydraulic fluid as its manual transmission and everything else like the remotes and loader. The spin on filter is positioned under one of its floorboards, and like any other filter, filters dirt and other impurities. If it wasn't important, it wouldn't have one is my guess. But it does have one for a reason. By the same token, if the hydraulic oil is low in the transmission, its also low to the pickup that would send it throughout the system if it had enough to do so. Hydraulic cylinders don't get pumped up to hydraulic if there's nothing to hydraulic them with, whether it be from dirt or low level or contamination.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
