Oil for Lift All M again!

Carl Grover · Apr 7, 2010

Is is best just to use hyd. oil for the lift all, I want to use the best product available , the manual said regular oil but that was 40 years ago, what weight hyd (if OK) should I use?

Hydraulic oil is OK, the heavier the better if you want to put out much pressure. HyTran is recommended but it is very thin and expensive. the one tractor I use on borrowed implements has hydraulic fluid to keep from contaminating the other guy's system with motor oil.

I use 30wt non detergent oil in my H and M. I've tried hydraulic oil and it works fine unless you use the hydraulics a lot like plowing on a short field and then the oil gets hot and doesn't lift. I'm going to have to try the 20-50wt oil from the thread below in my M as it doesn't have the lifting power it used to have.
