One of the hydraulic lines from my BX23 to the backhoe (BT600) recently busted and I didn't realize it until almost all of the fluid was gone. I've replaced the line and put the specified amount of fluid back in the tractor but it still isn't showing on the dipstick. I've drove it around a little and it seems to be driving ok, but there still isn't any fluid on the dipstick. Is it possible, that the fluid in the backhoe also drained out?

Where could I find the fluid capacity of the backhoe? I've looked, but haven't been able to find it.
What would happen if too much fluid is put in the system?

Also, is the fluid for the front wheel drive a separate system from the tractor & backhoe?
Is the loader on the same system as the tractor/backhoe?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bobby

Fill it to full on the dipstick.

The tractor’s HST, 3-point hitch, backhoe and loader share the same fluid reservoir.
