Has anyone converted to hyd fluid, and if you did, did you see any difference? I also have a Case 1845c that uses motor oil for the hydraulics, but they also add a qt of special additives. PT has been using 10W-30 or 40 since the early 90's. Have not heard of any problems I am not buying the fact that hyd fluid is better. Here in Florida, I could probably get away with 30wt non detergent, so any water that got in the system would settle on the bottom.

Changed over to amsoil synthetic in the 1430 several years ago to improve performance while field mowing side hills in hot weather, and it did make some difference. I have a 2430 that still has motor oil and it works just fine.
And in cold weather, I don't turn over either tractor until it gets a shot of starting fluid. Been through to many starters.
