Opico Skidster or sherpa mini loaders

[Mark Bolam]

I thought of a saw scabbard Alex, but there’s nowhere it wouldn’t be a pita.

Mighty micro trailering.

You can also do crass things like this if you can’t be bothered to put the grab on or do two trips. 
 

I ended up doing two trips.

Does anyone on here know the procedure for changing the hydraulic oil on a Sherpa 100? I've had mine a few years now and I'm sure it's well overdue a change, but can't find much in the manual. 

 

If anyone know the oil brand, type and quantity needed. If a filter needs replacing? and a step by step guide would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

Arms up, front plate off. Open tank cap, Vacuum it out of the tank, replace with new hydraulic 46. There might be a drain plug if you don’t have a vacuum extractor. 
 

Filter apparently doesn’t need doing at the same time as the hydraulic oil change but I did mine anyhow.  I posted the part number on this thread somewhere.
