I had this for a Cat generator that we had in our quarry. It took 55 gals of oil for an oil change.

I've seen weird things happen, like a stick in the lawn knock a belt off a deck pulley.
In an environment that is protected like an engine bay in a combine, where nothing would invade the area to unlatch it, I think it would be ok.
But putting it near the ground exposed to where anything and everything would potentially open it would make me uneasy.
I put draw bar pins for implements in from the bottom with hairpins through them on top so as field debris don't knock the hair pin out, have lost way too many the other way.
I lost a lot of lynch pins also, so they get bolts and nylock nuts, on this farm.
For what little it takes to unscrew a drain plug, I'll stick to it.
Buts that just me.

I recently retired from the fleet maintenance dept of a large utility company. We had the EZ Drain valve on all our trucks and never had an issue. Many of the trucks spent considerable time off road in very rough terrain building the power transmission lines. Never had one of the valves leak or get knocked open. Other than the expense, I would highly recommend the product.

We have these on our log trucks at work. They are in and out of the woods all day long, and we've never had any issues. You would have a better chance of poking a hole in the oil pan than knocking that little lever open.

I like the adapter that lets you hook a hose on, sure would be handy for changing the oil while the deck or plow is still on.

If you have a place nearby that works on motor homes, a lot of generator sets have that on. Maybe could score one for nothing.

It's a valve, so it is probably made by Valvoline . I'm kinda a Mobil guy myself. The picture shows the oil draining quickly. Looks handy if applied in the right location on the tractor, but I am not for sure about clearance with the mule drive belt. That's something I liked on the O's, the placement of the oil drain plug on the side, rather than the bottom.

That's pretty much the same as a Fumoto valve. I've had one on my truck for 13 years and never had an issue with it. Makes oil changes easier, and if I want to drop some oil for a UOA, it's cake to do.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
