What to use in my Deutz 6806 transmission

[Orangegroveguy]

Greetings all: Recently, I purchased a very used Deutz 6806. I have searched high and low on what kind of fluid I need to use in the transmission of this tractor. I've read GL-5 80W90, GL-1 90W and even 15W40 motor oil. I am confused. Does anyone have a link or information as to what fluid I can use in this transmission. Additionally, the power steering system runs off fluid drawn from the transmission. Would this make a difference in the type of fluid I can use. Any and all help and guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Glenn.

Trans hydraulic oil!! Just buy a GOOD QUALITY oil and quit worrying!

That's all I've ever used in any 06 series Deutz I've owned, and still do...
