It's not a full maintenance walkthrough or teardown, just targeted tips, best suited to owners already familiar with the axle service procedure who want small efficiency gains.
Posted by the Clear Creek Mini Farm channel, apparently an owner sharing hands-on tips from personal experience with their own tractor.
Open up everything on top of the axle before draining. This lets air displace the liquid coming out, making the fluid drain a lot faster.
Leave both vents out on top of each wheel while filling. This lets oil go in faster without overflowing the funnel, then plugs go back before topping off.
Put in about half of the mixture, then put the top vent plugs back in before topping off the axle to avoid leaking out of the vent holes.
