If the hydraulic lift system isnt ever going to be used, does it still need to be filled with oil?

Yes. We need to know what tractor it is you are discussing so we can be accurate. Some systems are running at all times, Some run when the clutch has your foot off of it unless the pump drive shaft is taken out, and Some are important for internal function and operation. Jim

It's possible that there is some oil in the bottom of the res. that'senough to keep things lubed, but not enough for the pump to function. It is also possible that the pump is broken, and not working anyhow, as was the case with my M when I bought it.
If you never intend to use the hydraulics, I would remove the drive coupler so you don't have to worry about it, but will prevent dammage in the case that someone in the future does want to use it.

The dip stick is dry when there is only one quart out of 6 missing. It should not be run dry Advice from "Sate" is good. Or fill it and pull on the control rod. If it slows the engine, and makes noise and wants to pull the rod back to the detent (hold) position, it is a good pump, and could be used. If nothing, it may be disconnected already. Making sure it is disconnected is the best option if you intend not to use it. If it leaks oil when filled, it must be fixed, disconnected from the drive, or removed. Best of luck, Jim
