How to change the hydraulic / transmission fluid on a RK55s Tractor
Overview
A homesteader's quick how-to specifically for the RK55 hydraulic/transmission fluid change, filmed mid-job. He identifies the yellow drain plug, the hydraulic filter, and the shared hydraulic-transmission fill port, notes the 9.25-gallon capacity, and shares a practical funnel-rigging workaround for refilling. He also briefly covers a joystick cable failure and wired-in reverse lights. Useful for RK55 owners doing their first fluid service with little else to reference.
