It depends on where you are and how you will use your 200. The more modern more expensive oils have many additives to enable them to work with the wet clutch packs and brakes that the modern tractors have. These additives don't enable the oil to do anything better for an old dry clutch and brake tractor like your 200, than plain gear oil or hydraulic oil will do. What the these tractor hydraulic will do however is absorb a lot more moisture than older cheaper hydraulic oil or gear oil. The moisture gets in when humidity is high, and condenses on the interior surfaces of the transmission and hydraulic housing. The Hy-Tran oil absorbs it, and then the oil is described by the worried owner posting here as looking like a coffee milkshake. Posts about this come up here frequently. If you use your 200 long enough and hard enough frequently enough to get the oil hot enough for long enough the moisture will be driven off. Otherwise you will probably need to change it at least every year, or more frequently if you are in a high humidity area because the moisture in the oil is not good for your bearings. If you use conventional oil such as what the tractor was shipped with originally you need to simply loosen the drain plugs and drain the water off the bottom once a year. In this case spending more is probably not good for your tractor.
