Water and oil will separate eventually. There are several ways to do it.
1) If you let it set long enough the water will settle out into the bottom of the system. That might be a month or two. I have an old Ford 961 that gets condensation water into the rear end oil every winter. I just loosen the drain plug BEFORE it is used each spring. The water will usually come out around the lose plug without taking it out all of the way.
2) Drain all of the hydraulic oil out of your tractor. Put it into something that you can heat. I have used an old electric stove and a steel five gallon pail. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME You will need to heat the oil to about 180-200 degrees. It will separate the water out and not damage the oil. Then just slowly pour the oil out of the pail leaving the water behind in the bottom of the pail.
Last thing. I would try to get all of the mixed oil out of the back hoe. Take lines off, drain valves, blow out cylinders with air, etc. Also find out if your cylinders are leaking. Friend's back hoe sets outside. His boom cylinder was letting rain water in around a bad top seal. Every time he hooked up he was putting water into his tractor system.
