FBH44: I see many people on here debating the engine oil issue. IF you really look at the amount you spend in your life time on engine oil. Then even if you cut that cost by 30-40% you still would not have much money.
So I run a good quality NAME brand engine and hydraulic oil. I am not going to risk a failure of an engine or transmission by running some "cheaper" oil or grease. Now finding that product at a good price is GREAT.
I have had an engine fail due to the engine oil. It only did this in the middle of spring planting too. So I not only had the cost of the engine repair I also had to rent a tractor to replace the one that failed.
So you guys can buy your oil where ever your comfortable with, even if that is Walmart, Costco or TSC. I am not going to do so.
I also try to run exactly what the machine manufacture recommended in the operators manual. I try to only vary from that if there has been an improvement in oil technology. There again if the manufacture is still in business they usually have an updated list for what to use in the older equipment.
I would be careful of using the advise given on any forum as to what oils to use. This caution also extends to salesmen as well. They will always say their product in the best in the world to use.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
