Hydraulic fluid

Chilidawg · Oct 28, 2020

What's your preferred method of disposing of used hydraulic fluid?
I know it can't be combined with motor oil for recycling. What's your solution?
Thanks!

What you need is some leaking seals. I never change the fluid on mine, just add about a gallon every time I use the tractor.

Ha! That would be great if only the water leaked out.

Plenty of waste oil heaters around here which take all my old oil, which is all dumped into the same barrel.

my local used oil recycling drop offs take hydraulic oil, gear oil, fuel oil,antifreeze, etc

why not? or else let someone with oil heating have it. guy at work collects all used oil , motor , hyd., and gear oil all mixed together and
burns it in his home heating system.

I take mine to my state inspection shop, they have a waste oil hater and are happy for it.

We just put it into the waste oil tank. Oil is oil and the waste oil guy doesn't care what it is. That being said we don't cheat and put anti-freeze and other junk in that tank.

I mix it with gas and a few tires to burn brush piles.....

Here in MO. burning tires will get you a pretty big fine if caught do so

I have to laugh about that, you can shoot first then ask questions, but big trouble for burning a tire! Lol

Tire burning has been on the books for more then 40 years. Castle law only a few years. It is also illegal to let bull thistle to grow on your land

This is the first I've heard it can't be mixed with motor oil and recycled. I dump mine in right along with the engine oil where I
take my recycled oil.

JayinNY · Oct 28, 2020

Gee, how to you go about keeping bull thistle off your land?

old · Oct 28, 2020

By law your suppose to go out and cut it down before it can go to seed. Granted it is an old law and not enforced due to not having the man power to do so. I do my best to keep te stuff cut before it can go to seed but that doesn't help much when you have neighbors who let it go to seed

I save it and dump it into a old leaky frontend loader.Or give it to someone who uses a waste oil furnace.

Best way to eradicate bull thistle is to uproot it when blooming. Get those roots and it will not grow back. We had zero this year.

How would they ever know that there's hydraulic oil mixed in?

fusion1 · Oct 29, 2020

Here at my Ford Dealership we burn it in our waste oil burner
burns good

If you ever used a burn barrel you have
noticed that your bag of trash from your
house draws moisture inside if it sets a
day or so I use the oil to get the trash
burning better I usually mix a small
amount of gas in with the oil to make it
burn better

Tires don't smoke at night.

True but they still can be smelled and that is enough to have the law start looking
