It doesn't have to be women. On a chance I bought a JD 4310 (with JD loader, JD 48 backhoe and JD 72" belly mower) with 400 hours on it at an auction on the cheap because it was an absolute MESS with oil leaking out. With my pen light I didn't see any hole in the transmission or block so I bid an opening bid of $5k. I thought oh sheet when NOBODY else bid and I bought it for 5k. Oh well, I figured if nothing else, I could get what I paid for it out of the backhoe alone.
When I got it to my shop and got it all power washed and degreased with the mower, backhoe and loader off of it it looked pretty darn nice. After doing basic checks, I noticed that I didn't see any bubble in the sight glass for the hydro oil in the back. I actually figured somebody intentionally over filled it a bit since it was leaking so badly, but it didn't seem to be leaking without running. So, I started using one of those little hand pumps and began pumping oil out of the hydro fill port.
Nine and a half gallons later the oil level was in the middle of the sight glass!!
I've used it most of the summer to mow since it's an eHydro and I don't have to use my right arm to do anything, therefore it was easier on me to mow with it than one of my ZTR Grasshoppers. It hasn't leaked a bit since and I'm not so sure the backhoe has ever even been used except when I dug a hole with it to see if it worked (controls are considerably different than I'm used to on my excavator though). So, we laugh at women, but it was a fella in his 70's who bought this JD new and decided he didn't need to take it back to the dealer for the last service that was done on it before he passed away. He must have kept buying hydraulic fluid and pouring it in until it wouldn't take any more!
