Just hit 50 hours (and loving it) and about to do the filters, etc. Got them from my dealer who recommended Chevron 1000 THF (and Delo 400 15w-40 for the oil). Looking online for a place to buy it I found this info sheet listing compatibility with a variety of other brands:

This list pretty much matches the compatibility list of the tractor hydraulic fluid they carry at Costco (where I also found the motor oil). Has anyone used the Costco fluid? Any input/advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have Ford 4610 and I use it regularly. I did the 1000 hr sevice with it and use it to top off the system when the level drops due to some small leaks at the remotes.

I got a Costco within walking distance... I would like to hear what you guys have to say too... I was not impressed with kubota's SUDT at the 50 hour service. With limited tractor usage, 50 hours/year, how bad could it be? :rolleyes:

At Costco, go to the customer service desk and ask who makes it. They'll tell you. ;)

Look up the MSDS, as they will most times id the supplier. MSDS are not always posted, but in most states they must supply them when asked by the consumer. I have had decent luck finding them online.
