2182 hydraulic fluid
 

What options are there for hydraulic fluid instead of the cub cadet fluid?

CaseIH dealers sell Hytran. Tractor supply has a Hytran equivalent,as does Napa and other places.

Terry, Tractor supply is closest for me. Does it say on the container that it is hytran equivalent?

pretty sure it does. It works good.

NO....it does not. It is a generic hydraulic fluid. It claims to be equivalent to IH's B-6 specification.

I have used it. It is OK for the summer time (or warmer weather). In the winter time, your hydro will "whine" until the fluid warms up.

It is your tractor, your time, and your money.

Roland, that is true, but we be down here in Georgia and our winter "cold" is 30*. :biggrin2:

Oak...LOL....it can get -20°F here where I am.

If I was -20F I'd whine too!

From my experience, HyTran performs better in colder weather. That is my story and I am sticking to it. LOL :biggrin2:

There are two grades of TSC fluid. The "premium" is recommended for cold weather. I am glad I've never seen -20!:biggrin2:
