Is there a reputable but cheaper fluid over Hy Gard? Been seeing Harvest King John Deere at the local rural king.

Bottom line, what is the dollar difference between your cheapest and what the HyGard will cost?

Havest King - 45.99
Yellow bucket Extreme 334 - 34.99
Hy-Gard - $71

I'd go with the Hy-Gard.. For only $25 difference.
Seeing in one of your pics from 2017 that you have Hy-Gard apparently when you changed out the fluid. How many hours since then that you are changing again?

Its self changing.....

No clue on the hours. I use it maybe once a month. Id say less than 100 hours since i changed it in 2017 when i acquired it. And I'd guess I've put 20+ gallons in it since then.

I see, bad leak. Know where the oil is getting out?

Front around the pump I know. Was on the rear also but i have had it out today and haven't noticed it. Has hydraulic issues related to pressure also.

Rear leak is probably draft sensing rod for lower links of the 3pt hitch, or breakaway coupler.
