The best way I know of, is let tractor sit for a lengthy spell (several days) before doing an oil change. And loosen the drain plug up enough for it to just drip (don't take it out). Just loosen enough for a drip. If what drips out is water, and un- mistakeably green, then it is antifreeze (coolant). Not condensation. Of course this has to be done without starting or warming up the engine before loosening the plug.
If you just took the dang plug out, and paid no attention other than, I thought some of that might of been water, then you just missed your best chance to figure things out.
The water will settle to the bottom of whatever you drained the oil in. The problem with that is though, whatever you drained it in, likely don't have a drain plug in it.
So you can either put plug back in, do a coolant system pressure test, and let tractor sit for awhile, and see what (if anything) shows back up in the pan. Or you can just complete the oil change, operate it for awhile, and check things out again as mentioned above, the next time you do an oil change.
As to dry sleeves or wet sleeves, I can't answer that one. If I had to guess, I'd say dry sleeves, but that's just a guess, as I don't know for sure on this model.

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
