This is a bit off topic since it relates to a car but I'm sure there's tractors that have the same problem.
I just got done changing the oil on my Wife's '07 Pathfinder. I like the vehicle a lot but chainging the oil is nothing but one big mess. They put the filter in a place that's almost impossible to get to. The filter it's self is horizontal so at least half of it's contents are going to spill out everywhere no matter what you do. Of course the folks at Nissan thought of the spilling so the made a little troff under the filter to redirect the oil through a hole in the belly pan but the hole isn't quite big enough so once the flow slows down it all runs right back into the belly pan. The end result is no matter how much wiping I do I end up with oil spots on the garage floor for a few days.
My VW has a canister for a paper element style filter right on top. I can change it mess free in seconds, if the Germans can do it why not the folk in the US and Japan?
The sad thing is that the Pathfinder is an upgrade over the Focus she used to have, that thing you almost had to take a wheel off to get to the filter!

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
