Antifreeze - what kind?

[Farmerboy]

Just noticed that the expansion bottle on my 2008 3215HST looks a little low. All the manual says is to basically have a high boiling point, no more than 50% ethylene glycol solution.

That said, anybody see anything wrong with just putting the ready-mix 50/50 Prestone in the tank?

I use the "Fleet Charge" from Tractor Supply. I would not reccomend to use Prestone because it is probably not a "low silicate" antifreeze and can cause cooling system silicate deposit. This is the directions givin in my owners manual fo my 4025. If you are not sure just spend a little more and get the "Mahindra" antifreeze from the dealer. The cost is not very relevent because this is about a 2 year flush and change cycle or possibly longer. The "Fleet Charge" will be purple in color not green like the factory. There have been posts on this before and some guy's will say that it does not matter. But when dealing with just 2 or so gallons it is worth having a warm feeling ( not a hot one).
