Matt - you gotta remember where I'm at... po-dank WV. The only farms around here are beef and dairy and that's far and few between due to the excessive milk distribution from a slanted cow on a hillside.... I even called a local semi service center, they carry KW and Volvo, but the only Hydraulic fluid they stock is Rotella.
I've read more than enough that I'm gonna stick with the Hy-Tran. I closed the site, but I read about a 3 page article from a retired AF Col. who was a service commander and he did extensive comparions of Hy-Tran vs. numerous products for 20+ years.

My 4 work tractors get used on average about 10 hours per year. I think the minimum Hytran-change window is 100 hours (The Sundstrand service manual claims you can go ~400 hours (or something like that) with a filter in the system in some situations). That means at the current rate my tractors will go at least 10 if not more years without a Hytran change. The ones that are not operated during the winter sit in an unheated, partially un-sheltered barn. There's plenty of opportunity for condensation to form inside the rearend. I don't want that rusting anything. And nothing will rust so long as there is Hytran in the rear. This would be even more critical if my tractors had to sit outside. I have had a couple of tractors that I drained WATER out of, yet had no rust whatsoever anywhere inside. I can't be so sure. One time I bought some of the off-brand stuff, and I put some in a dish and some Hytran in another dish. I put some water in both. The Hytran dish formed sticky globs, and the Off-brand dish did nothing. The water and fluid stayed separate. I have also had a couple of other tractors that had less hydro whine after draining out fluid of questionable origin and replacing it with Hytran.
Just because they both meet the same specs doesn't mean they are the same. 5 gallons will take care of 2 tractors with some left over for ~200 hours each if you want to sit in the middle of the change interval... That's like 19 cents per hour of the tractor's operation. That's still pretty cheap in my opinion

Hy-Tran is a lot more pricey than the other stuff. That's all my Dad and I've used on our IH and Case IH stuff for more than 40 years. Take your own container to a Case/IH dealer. They carry it in bulk and will give you a better deal. I'm an AMSOIL dealer too but will only use HY-TRAN in our equipment.

Jeff, Country Power is my local dealer... that's the one the post refers to. I honestly don't expect to see them around too much longer. This is also the same outfit that said there was no such thing as a "Cub Cadet" and that the "Original" is the model name...
Mountaineer in Peterstown doesn't carry it, only Rotella there too... The others I haven't tried.

Use this link to find a Case IH dealer in your area and take a couple clean 1 gallon jugs for a great deal on HY-Tran.

 I read about them on a STIHL forum a while back as well, they sound like a decent place to deal with. Jeff (teet)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
