I am no fan of JD but they have the best hyd/trans oil in the business, sans synthetics which JD now also offers. I use it in everything except our IH tractors. The JD has a excellent friction modifier/antiwear agent, a zinc phosphate compound which is put in for gears/bearings etc, but also causes the clutches to slip a little more. This can play havoc with IH clutch life and shift characteristics. JD clutch design allows for the extra slippage and they can have the benefit of less gear/bearing etc wear. It is difficult for me to understand why someone would buy a $10,000-$20,000 tractor and be willing to cut corners on lubricant. How many times are you going to change the oil? Every year like they say or more like every 5-10 years. I will continue to purchase the best lubricant I can find and in the end it will prove to be the best buy.
