You could do that but you would want to pull the lower case before doing it. Aluminum chips would do a number of the center case surface of a hydrostat. Change the oil filter while you have it apart.
For the John Deere you had to pull the transmission and flip it upside down to change the oil. (Of course you could then add drain holes / plugs)
Rule of thumb was to change the oil at 50 hours and then every 200 after that.
