Bottom line is......... it is your tractor, use what you want.

This isn't a debate about whether the formulas are the same; it's (like it always turns into) a debate on whether you can use other fluids with positive results and no long term ill effects. Not everybody can afford genuine stuff, or not everybody wants to pay the price for it. All I, and others, are trying to say is there is nothing wrong with some of the other products out there.
IH has there patented formulas, JD has there patented formulas, Agco has theirs, Kobota, etc etc. Then there are aftermarket brands, some may very well be better (or worse) than the IH stuff; Mystik JT-5 and Mobil 424 to name a couple. At a certain point, this debate is as
pointless as the debate on which engine oil is the best.
I'll say this again, like I did in my last post and you did in yours:
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.
