I have a New Holland TT75A made in 2008. The front bucket went from great to less than great to barely to nothing. I thought perhaps it was the valve and replaced it; nothing. I then figured it had to be the hydraulic pump as, when I bought it for $5,000 from the lady next door, I didn't know...

What's the status of recycling or re-refining used oil these days? There used to be lots of small town refineries that would take used motor oil, "re-refine" it, and sell it as off-brand inexpensive oil. I have no idea what process was used. Has anyone worked in that industry?

I know this has probably been beat to death on here but does OEM Tractor oil have something magical that Shell Rotella or other standard oils do not have? They are always more expensive and "specially formulated" for their diesel engine. What would happen if you put John Deere oil in Kubota...
