Hydraulic oil question

[RandyinTN]

Is this a good oil to use in my NX4510 hydra trans?
Traveller Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid, 2 gal. at Tractor Supply Co.

Members have posted using that oil and it worked fine. TSC has two Travellers hydro oil. Get the one you posted. It will say "Premium". It's a multi weight as Kioti uses.

For Hydraulic Fluid at TSC, we always recommend the Shell Rotella HD Trans/Hydraulic Fluid. We have had a couple of performance issues with the Traveller products, especially in HST Transmissions.

What type of issues?

 

[MichiganIron]

Whining .....and poor pedal response....especially in colder temperatures.

Thanks, our local TSC has the Shell Rotella in stock so will pick up a 5 gallon bucket.
Any hints to transferring from the bucket to the tractor?

If your adding , just to top off the tractor, get what the dealer put in it. Have them bring a pale when they come Saturday.

You can buy a hand pump that fits the top of a 5 gallon pail, and has a hose to pump the oil where you want it...

Unless changed recently the Shell Rotella HD is actually Spirax S4 TXM which supercedes the Donax TD that Kioti called for in their owners manuals or at least in my owners manual for my DK45S.

Does that make the Shell a better or worse choice?

that would make it an OEM recommended oil. So if your owners manual calls for a Spirax S4 TXM or Donax TD than the Shell Rotella HD tractor and hydraulic fluid meets all the OEM specs. Spirax and Donax are Shell products.

Many thanks for this. I used the Spirax last time but it was hard to find and TCS stores are common here.

Just ordered this. Don't know how good it will be yet.
