On 02/18/05, I bought a new 4341.1 Zetor tractor with 4X4. The tractor operator's manual states that the tractor came with 80W/90 fluid in the transmission and hydraulics. This blows my mind. Isn't 80W/90 fluid to heavy for the transmisssion and hydraulics for this tractor? I have checked the transmission, and the fluid in it is as thin as hydraulic transmission fluid. Do you think that my tractor came with hydraulic transmission fluid, and not 80W/90 fluid as stated in the tractor operator's manual? I am wondering now what type of fluid to use if the transmission and hydraulics become low on the dipstick. The tractor operator's manual states that hydraulic transmission fluid can be used instead of the 80W/90 fluid, but don't mix them together. At the present time, my tractor just has 20 hours on it. I don't want to drain out the 17 gallons of fluid in the transmission just now to see what weight it is. Surely this tractor came with Hydraulic transmission fluid in the transmission and hydraulics instead of 80W/90 fluid by being as thin as it is.
My question is to anyone that has bought a new Zetor tractor this size, or any size Zetor tractor: Did your tractor come with 80W/90 fluid, or hydraulic transmission fluid in the transmission and hydraulics? This is a question that I need to know soon. I have called the Zetor tractor office in Harrisburg, PA about this question, and I can never get anyone to answer the phone.
If anyone on this board knows the answer to this question, I would appreciate it very much. Also, if no one knows the answer to this question, where can I go to find out what type of fluid is in the transmission and hydraulics of my tractor when I bought it new?
A reply to this post would be most appreciated.
