I changed the hydraulic fluid in my New Holland TC45DA from what I expect was factory original to TSC Traveller Premium UDT. I'm not entirely happy with it - until the tractor warms up the loader groans and moves weak/slow on the cold fluid. It didn't act this poorly in past winters.
While I consider the TSC fluid a "mistake" it did give me an appreciation for how this tractor doesn't like cold, viscous hydraulic fluid. So I'm going synthetic, at least synth blend.
I believe Super UDT2 is a synthetic blend at $21/gallon. Amsoil Tractor UDT is a full synthetic at $30/gallon. Is the Amsoil worth more?
I'd compare specs but Kubota uses secrecy to scare customers into buying only their fluids.
