Watch before your next hydraulic service and save yourself a headache!

This is a real-time, warts-and-included transmission/hydraulic fluid change on a 2019 John Deere 2038R at 214 hours, done from underneath with the backhoe still attached. Bill drains from the alternate location, shows the manual's service intervals, changes suction and HST filters, and points out his own mistakes (oil spilling past the pan, drawbar channel leaks) so you can avoid them. Good for owners planning their own hydraulic service.
