It is my opinion that the largest equipment manufacturers in the world would not sell inferior lubricants for their equipment.
Deere will tell you their Hyguard is better, just as others will like Kubota, Cat, New Holland IH/Case Etc. will promote their lubricants
Our older hydros were put in Deere, Cub, and others, including Cushman Vehicles.
The hydro manufacture, Sundstrand recommends
Anti wear hyd fluid or ATF type "F" or hyd transmission fluid.
I personally use Tractor supply hyd oil in my Green and Red tractors with no ill effects.
Just like folks are loyal to their particular brand of motor oil.
I personally believe that oil that meets specks is sufficient.
I do know oils/lubricants have improved immensely since I started changing them 60 years ago.
This is just my opinion which I am entitled to.
Others have theirs which I respect.

Touche ol'george. I've been using TSC type hyd oil in my 125 for 25yrs and it shows no signs of slowing down. Never had a problem and have been using NAPA brand filters. Never had a problem with moisture on any oil change that I have done throughout the years. Tractor sits on a dirt floor inside a pole barn.
