hydrostatic transmission oil?

[antlers125]

I'm in need of a quality hydro transmission oil. The tractor gets about 50hrs. of use per year , so it sets a good bit. Any recommendations for a quality oil?

Antlers, since your tractor IIRC is still under warranty, I'd stick with the LS brand. They can be sticklers about some of that stuff. Plus, what I purchased at my dealer was less in price than what I could get for the JD or even tractor supply equivalent.

Your mileage may vary.

When I change mine out I'm probably going to a synthetic. Possibly Amsoil.

I've heard Amsoil has good stuff. I don't have any personal experience with it though.

Here's a thread for you to look through:

It don't have to be LS product. Your owners manual states the recommended ratings for all fluids. Pour in whatever you grew up with that meets the spec.
