/ Has anyone used gear oil in front axle (instead of the hydraulic oil that the manufacturer recommends) AND had an issue?

Gear oil is actually made for lubricating things exactly like the front end. And even what my dealer recommends.
They only use UDT from the factory so they can fill a every tractor with only 2 oils.....engine and whatever goes in the trans (UDT or SUDT). And less of a chance of someone putting gear oil in the trans/rear
So basically....UDT/SUDT in the front is not because its better. Its only a convenience/cost thing for the MFG
