Go to the JD website and look at the on-line tractor manuals under the coolant section for the tractors you own. It seems each engine type has very slightly different requirements (anti-cavitation additives, anti-corrosion additives, etc.).

Look under the "coolant" section in the manuals and you will find the alternatives to JD COOL-GARD.

Shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes per tractor to find the exact information you need.
