Dipstick, filler and filter are behind the rear door, at ground level.
The 226D3's engine sits behind the cab with the hydrostatic pumps driven off it; dusty, worn-out oil wears both, so change it on the 500 hours, not late.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
