I have an International 1086 and having problems with the hydraulics. I mainly use it for cutting hay using a 10ft Kuhn mower. I have had the tractor for about 6 years and had very few problems. This past spring I took it to the local case dealer for some work and they told me to use Case Hy-Trans fluid for the hydraulics. I had been using the general fluids from Tractor Supply or the local automotive store. Well since I started using the Case fluid, the hydraulics are not working very well.

Anyone else experienced these issues and could it be my fluid? Should I change back to the generic fluid?

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
