Mike, Dean's is a good idea but if you're short on blocks and have an area
"out behind the barn" this may also work for you -

I have Ferguson 35 that is low enough that a bucket won't fit under it to
drain the Transmission/Differential.  So, years ago I dug a round hole
behind the Barn just wide enough to hold the bucket upright and deep
enough  that when the bucket is placed in the hole the tractor can drive
over it.  The back end of the 35 holds 8 gallons so to completely drain it
I still have the limited bucket capacity problem...so I fill a bucket
maybe 3 quarters full, replace the Drain Plug, wipe my hands off, drive
off, replace the bucket with an empty and finish the job.  Yes, a bit
messy when replacing the plug but... if you're short on blocks/ramps...

!!Happy New Year!!
