Fram tractor hydraulic fluid?

[radnack]

Has anyone seen this yet? Fram Premium Tractor hydraulic fluid Advance Auto Parts - Down for Maintenance
I dont see any information on it. Wondering if it crosses to Kubota UDT or otherwise? Seems kind of odd it doesnt list anything about it being safe to wet brakes or anything? The only thing i could find out about it is that it was made by amalie oil according to advanced auto parts

 

[SPYDERLK]

Fram, as in the filter people?

 

[Roadworthy]

I haven't seen it but in my case it doesn't matter. I use Kubota SUDT2. For that fluid I'd use it in older gear drive tractors which share the oil bath between transmission and hydraulics. These usually have dry brakes.

Just an update for anyone who was interested. I contacted AMALIE and they said Applications include but are not limited to final drives, PTOs, transmission, wet brakes, power steering units, and hydraulic systems. The FRAM Premium Tractor Hydraulic Fluid exceeds the performance requirements for the John Deere J20C spec and is miscible with the original OEM fluid.

I haven't bought anything with a Fram label in at least 30 years and it's not very likely I ever will. It's just not a brand I have any confidence in.

Friends don't let friends use Fram.. Complete junk filters, not about to trust their fluids.

Live in the past, get left behind fast. The Fram Premium oil filters are some of the best on the market!

I second this. Fram EG and Ultra are great filters. I use them on most of my stuff except the F250 where I use Donaldson

Have at it. I'm offering my opinion of what I wouldn't use, pretty much what the OP asked for. Doesn't bother me in the least what you guys use or don't use.

Care to substantiate that with a factual link or is that 100% opinion? Think I already know the answer.

I think I know what this means.

Anyway I'm thinking I don't really care that much and no one will probably be open enough to change their mind, so I will bow out.

Someone needs to get Project Farm (I think that is his name) on YouTube to evaluate these FRAM filters,,
He is always looking for something to evaluate,,

He is great at evaluating oil, I am sure he could do the filters,,

He is always cutting something open,,,

I think this thread is supposed to be about Fram oil, so OP I am sorry for the hijack. I am going to start a thread for filters.

If the oil is blended by Amalie it is probably good stuff with a Fram label slapped on it. If the price is good and it has the correct specs I probably would use it without hesitation, especially as Amalie is in my current hometown and we need the jobs

Now when I am fully in TN I might change my mind

I am in Roanoke VA,, which is the HOME (was the home,,, ) of Advance Auto,,
well,, I gotta pass on Advance,,
constantly, EVERYTHING they sell is 30 to 50%, and even more than 100% higher than other local sources,,

They have no problem asking $179 for a 3 year car battery,, I can no longer shop there.

 

[5030]

Three things I never skim on. One is hydraulic fluid, 2 is engine oil and 3 is filters. New, my tractors cost in the excess of 60 grand each, so they only get top tier fluids and filters and that ain't Fram anything.

Last time I needed a battery I priced one at Advance. Literally walked across the street to O’Rielleys and saved $50. That was the last time I darkened their door.
