    Hi folks, i have a JD 855 compact tractor (24HP)... need to replace the hydraulic oil at this stage and wondering what folks would recommend? i've heard mobil is the best... somebody was saying it runs cooler than other oils such as costrol... and i've also heard the term "long drain" - does that mean long life? The manual for the JD says use JD Hy-gard low viscosity, but i'm not seeing that stuff readily available in farm/parts shops so am wondering what to go for that i can get easily.

    Any advice? Cheers :)

    Deere oils are packed by shell, with a few euro premium for the green paint paint. Shell Spirax S4 TXM iirc is the product code.
    -Total Dynatrans MPV
    -Gulf UTTO 80w TDS
    -Q8 T 2300 cvt
    Though they are very high end oils.
