OK what trans/hydro oil are you using?

[Neat 1500]

I am about to buy some oil to replace the trans/hydraulic fluid in my 1500 Yanmar.i was going to use a "J" spec ATF as i have some of this and i use it in my vehicles,but i am still not convinced.should i use UTF or Hy-Gard or ???? i want to buy the right oil as the one that was in it wasnt right but i need a push one way or the other.

i bought 20L of AgriTrans, a Caltex(Texaco) Hydro/Trans fluid that meets the requirements.It has made a difference to it already,smoother and easier gear changes and quieter hydro pump and rams.

If it seems like it's working, you should be ok. I tried a off-brand ($25 for 5 gals))in my tractor and the tractor shifted fine but I would get brake chatter on steep hills. I went back to HY-guard($55 for 5 gals) and it went away.

I went with Amsoil and it was quieter and smoother. I don't know if you can get Amsoil down under.

Case IH Hy Tran Plus is a many-splendored thing.

I have a greymarket Yanmar and use the same fluid that is recommended for John Deere tractors since Yanmar made the motors for John Deere I thought that would be a good oil. So far it is working good. Cant remember the number maybe 202, but Atwoods only had two types and one was for JD. I had both types and visually I couldnt tell any difference.
