mf 65 hydraulic fluid level...loader runs from valve

I recently bought an MF 65 with a loader that is hooked into the internal hydraulics. the loader works slowly but works fine. the hydraulic fluid is showing as overfull on the dipstick. should there be extra fluid in it because of the loader and if so, how much extra should there be? i guess it would depend on the size of the loader cylinders?

signed....confused but hopeful
 
The pump only puts out around 4 gpm so the loader
will be slow. I would pull drain plugs one at a
time and make sure the overfull condition isn't
water under the oil. If good oil is found, put
the plugs back in and figure the previous owner
intended to overfill it. BTW, as the fill port is
under the steering wheel and the dipstick is in
the back, it takes a while for the fluid to show
on the dipstick when filling. It is really easy
to overfill one of these tractors. I poured in
ten gallons (calls for 8?) and the dipstick was
dry. The next morning, I had oil pouring out of
the dipstick hole...

the loader runs slow but fine. i had drained the oil and it was fine....no water. now from what i have read, i should fully extend the loader, bucket and 3 point and fill to the dipstick "full" level. if i were to do this, when the everything is lowered, i'll have too much fluid according to the dipstick. Is this correct? just want to make sure that overfull is ok in this situation. thanks.
