the k58 is ok but is also found in lower end tractors along with the k46 and k60 I would not say they are junk but there are better ones such as the k71 found in the x500 but pulling just a aerator or something like that your dealer is right go across not up and down and you will be fine . also they are not serviceable by design but you can still service them they dont have a drain plug only a vent tube so the easiest way is to unbolt the hydro unit from the tractor and take the plug out of the vent tube then tip the hydro upside down so the vent tube is pointing straight down and let it sit that way till the oil all runs out then refill it with fresh oil by dumping it into the vent tube it takes a little while to get it refilled but if you use a funnel and run a small rubber hose into the funnel to act as a vent then pour the oil into the funnel with the hose in place it allows faster filling because the air has a way to escape as you are filling it up afterwards just bolt it back on and reconnect everything and if you have a little lever on the back that says bypass or release start the tractor with both rear wheels off the ground and pull the release lever which bleeds the air out of the system while the tractor is in drive after about 10 mins put the tractor back in neutral push the lever back in and take it for a drive

Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back here. Thanks for all your responses....some very helpful info here. Angie_DIY......Here is a link to the GE hood we're considering. After reading the manual I realize that the charcoal filter is only needed if you're using it as a recirculating fan. We won't be. There is also a grease filter that is washable. http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=PV970NSS michoumonster.......that makes sense, and I certainly would not be using the fan on high all of the time. But some other comments have mentioned that code often has a limit on how many CFM's are allowed. We're moving to a small little community where they are sticklers about code (we've had fits with them on several other issues), so we'd better check to see what is allowed first. GWlolo.....Yes, I've read that the hood should be slightly wider than the cooktop. Ours won't be unfortunately. We have a 30" cooktop and a 30" hood, but I guess the range hood will extend beyond the actual burner area, so I think we'll be okay. I have to confess that until recently I didn't know that range hoods removed odors from cooking. For years I had a Thermador down-draft cooktop, and the fan was so loud that it honestly sounded like a jet engine taking off, so I didn't use it except on rare occasions. It's nice to know that in my new kitchen I'll be able to get rid of smells like brussels sprouts! A2gemini.....I agree...that's the only way I'll make bacon anymore, and I just learned this method about a year ago. BTW, we do live in a cold climate, and we do have building codes to contend with. But I didn't realize the hood CFMs would have to be considered. See above where I talk about this. I guess I have some checking to do. WileyBob.....I agree about Thermador....I never liked my down-draft, and I had it for about 20 years. I finally replaced it with a GE Monogram cooktop. I like it much better, but I still rarely use the down-draft. I'm looking forward to having a normal hood above the cooktop. I won't need anything as powerful as you need with your Wolf though. I've heard great things about the Wolf cooktops. Detroit burb.....I wish I had read your information before I started my research on range hoods. Good info there! The thing I've had the most trouble with is finding a 'not-too-high' CFM rated range hood with a low sone rating. We need something not too bulky looking, yet we still want a decent performance. So I think we're just going to go with the GE curved profile style in the link I've posted above. It's noisier than I wanted (7 sones on high), but I'm sure we won't have it on high for long periods of time. My husband and I did your calculations on CFM vs. room size, and I think we'll be okay with that one. Thanks for your help! artemis 78.....I also like the Kobe's, and we were considering going to Cincinnati to look at them (they don't sell them where we live), but I fear the building inspector (they really do inspect here) would think the CFM rating is too high. But I'll check on this.....glad to know you like yours. We're moving to a modest little home (we plan to spend most of the year in our RV), and I'm sure we already have the best kitchen in the neighborhood. We plan to stay in the house forever, so we're making it as nice as we can within reason for the type of house it is. Thanks again, everyone!

Just wanted to add one more thing I noticed today. Background: I have white liners in all my cabinets. We use the range hood fan 99.9% of the time. We have a 30" electric range with a low cost 30" fan that exhausts outside. I fry things occasionally, DS fries eggs every day but has the fan on high. Today I noticed that in a cabinet close to the range....the white liner has discoloration around where drinking glasses sit. It actually is darker the closer to the range. What does this mean? That even with using the exhaust fan 99.9% of the time dirt particles are getting inside my cabinets closest to the range! Exhaust fans do matter. Yes, you can live a healthy happy life until you are 105 without a fan but particles of stuff WILL go somewhere. If it not for the liners being white I would not notice. I have dark cherry cabinets that I wipe down somewhat regularly so haven't noticed anything there but obviously there is still grime floating around. My lesson to myself and others if you care..... Next time get a hood that extends 3" on each side of the range to increase the capture area. Get a higher quality exhaust fan. Now I feel compelled to clean out all my cabinets which isn't really a bad idea.

Hi @dinesh75 many people have the same questions as you. As a pro in the industry I think I could definitely help you! We actually sell Proline hoods so if you have any specific questions about our hoods we would be happy to help you. First may I ask what style of hood you are looking for? For example, will your hood be mounted under a cabinet? A stainless steel model? A range hood with a curved glass design? In this price range that you requested you will find Proline hoods with about 600-700 CFM. (This is the suction power or cubic feet per minute) If you feel that with your Indian cooking you may want the next level up, the cost isn't that much greater for Proline hoods with 900+ CFM. (Any hood with more than 900 CFM is considered to be apart of the Professional series.) This is a customer kitchen with the PLFW 544 wall mounted Range Hood. It is in your price range and has a maximum output of 600 CFM. It comes with honeycomb filters that are dishwasher safe. This is a customer kitchen with the PLFW 520 Wall Mounted Range Hood with 600 CFM. This is in your price range and it also comes with easily removable honey comb filters that are dishwasher safe. This is another customer kitchen with the Proline PLZW KB3 Wall Mounted Range Hood. It features 670 CFM, and easily removable dishwasher safe honeycomb filters. This is also in your price range. These are just some of our Proline hood options in your price range. Let me know if any of these look like what you are looking for or if you have any questions! We wish you all of the success in finding a new range hood.
