It's casual and unscripted rather than a polished tutorial, best suited for owners planning to do this service themselves.
An owner-operator (Adam of Indy Farm Life) documenting DIY maintenance on his own tractor, with a relaxed, first-person, non-professional presentation.
The video shows adding 12 and a half gallons, or exactly 12.4 gallons, of transmission oil.
No, these tractors are self-priming, so even if the filters are completely dry, the pump pushes diesel through everything when started.
Finding only sediment is a good sign, but large metal particles could mean damage to the transmission and indicate a problem.
The tractor is a 2016 model with about 450 operating hours, with 300 of those being actual operational time.
