Any data to back this up? I and many other guys on here use fluid other than hytran and have zero problems. Considering the "other guy" fluids meet the standards of Hy-Tran, I see absolutely no reason they aren't perfectly acceptable replacements. I've used Hy-Tran on several machines and I've used Tractor Supply fluid on several machines, both with identical results and zero problems. Beyond that, I've been using machines for 20+ years that use non-Hy-Tran and have never experienced a failure. My father, who's got tractors ranging from a 12hp Wheel Horse to a big boy 350 with Cubs, Lo-Boys, Ford 9ns, etc in between; he uses Farm and Fleet fluid and has no problems. If there was really a problem with the "other guy" fluids, they wouldn't be selling them.
At the end of the day, its your tractor and your choice: just please don't make other people scared of anything that isn't Hy-Tran for no good reason.
