Pay attention to what sort of coolant is in your equipment to begin with. There are many different additive packages today. Some of these additives are compatible and some are not. Some of the incompatible ones will turn to jelly if mixed.
The test strips are specific to a certain additive chemistry. And, they have a shelf life. Deere has a couple different test strips available. Most parts stores will carry the ones for traditional "green" coolant.
