jeffcat, it's a 2006 hydrostatic (automatic). It does have a dip stick which is difficult to read with the fluid being so clear. The manual only says to "run at 1500 rpm for 4-5 minutes on level ground", it doesn't say to check while running or to turn it off. I agree with you on warming it up, and at least with the old cars...you checked the transmission with it running. With old tractors, you checked the fluid with it off. To answer Gene's question, it doesn't leak, though there is some weeping at the loader cylinders. That is the only place this tractor leaks anything. There really hasn't been any issue with this tractor, but I was starting to get a little pump whine when you first started off which made me check the fluid. I'm ashamed I've been lax on checking it with the feeling if it isn't leaking it's OK. I'll change the engine oil, but i leave the tran oil to a dealer. But, even though Mahindra is a great tractor, dealers come and go quickly and those that are around have Mahindra as a side business. My nearest dealer is about 60 miles away. There was one about 25 miles, small place, but he gave up too and quit selling them. Mahindra USA used to have great customer support, but even that is gone. The problem is it's just not green or orange. Ironically, my model is also a Cub Cadet 7000 series, I believe it was 7305, both built by Mitsubishi. I'm inclined to think I should warm it up, shut it off and check after a couple minutes.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
