I just changed trans / hydraulic fluid while my B3030 had the loader attached. Now, when I check the fluid level, when the loader cylinders and 3 point are extended, the fluid level shows below the first (lower) mark on the dipstick. When loader cylinders and 3 pt are contracted, fluid level shows well above the full (upper) mark. Which is correct?

I had the loader up when I changed fluids, possibly a mistake?
