Was this after an oil change?? If the oil filter was installed empty, it would be filled up once engine was started. I would rather think that it would show low on the dipstick afterwards, rather than none at all, but might explain where some of it went. Of course this is considering you were conducting an oil change, and installed the filter empty. If not, dis- reguard this scenerio.
I have heard stories of filters leaking after install, or people forgetting to put the drain plug back in. This of course would make a mess on the floor or ground underneath. But if you still had drain pans in place underneath from doing an oil change, the leaking filter seal could of just leaked new oil into the drain pan that was already there, and already had some drained oil in it. The plug being left out obviously wouldn't be the cause, since you were able to fill the crankcase to full. But the filter seal is a possibilty.
Otherwise, you have some sort of considerable problem. As in, what's already benn suggested or otherwise.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
