My 7060 is semi retired and is generally used as a loader tractor. This spring I used it on a 21' disc to fill in ruts from last fall. It was a 490 IH disc in about 40 acres of stalks and I just let go in as far as it could and the old girl just walked the dog.
After that I used it for odd jobs running 3 or 4 miles between farms and everything was normal.
I wanted to mow the roads before Memorial Day weekend so I hooked it up the batwing and started mowing, I had been mowing about 5 hrs. and was almost back home when the tractor stopped moving. The hydraulics still worked fine, I got it to the barnyard with a little luck. I put 3 gallons in the transmission and brought it up to the full mark on the dipstick. I couldn't find any leaks.
So a few days ago I had to mow around a tile inlet so I checked the levels and went and did that. it took about and hour and it was still working fine.
Today I checked and it took 4 gallons to bring it up to full so I removed the upper site glass and let 6 to 8 gallons out before it started to slow down. So where is likely transferring oil from.
