It all depends on the age of the equipment. Diesel engines of yore could happily burn almost any oil. The new smog throttled engines with DPF, EGR and a common rail injection system are much more fuel particular.I dunno, I have a neighbor who's been using heating oil in his loader for years with no problems. I don't know if he adds anything to it, maybe some Power Service.
The neighbor's experience with a 20 year old machine is NOT applicable to one's new $50,000 tractor.... Unless one has $$ to burn on repair. But then, $$ is still better spent on proper fuel.
