Tiger Cat oil change

Thats kind of what I was thinking about trying tigercat. That or one of the long flexible PigMat brand drains
 
Ok here are pictures as promised. Hope this helps. We changed two mowers with NO spillage to clean up. 20 oz water bottles are every where. Just cut one off with your pocket knife to the right length to fit under.

Sorry about order of pictures.

I have a 2016 61 inch tiger cat with a 26.5 hp Kohler engine. Just did the 20 hour oil change and found out the oil filter is hard to change without making a mess. The oil out of the filter ran down all over the clutch and floor. Does anyone have any ideas to make this easier?
 
Engineers never think this out.
I pack several layers soft absorbent paper towels around the bottom and sides of the engine. Then I work fast with the filter to move it away from the engine. Clean up what little mess there is and continue.

Thanks tigercat! I just hope now I won't have problems with the clutch since it has oil all over it.

As I stated above we change oil in two Tiger Cats frequently. IF you will take a 20 oz bottle and cut it off to about 2" or how ever short it needs to be to slip under the lip that sticks out under the filter, then loosen the filter and allow it to drain, then remover the filter, you can then wipe the small amount off the lip with a towel. Then remover the cut off bottle with the oil in it.

IF you do that you will not have a mess to clean up.

Changed oil in two mowers again Saturday. Used the same procedure and it worked great. Again NO mess to clean up.
