I'm getting ready to change engine oil on my Hydrostatic Massey 1734 E and just wanted to get some input on Oil Type and Filter. AGCO is selling two filters . One is for hydrostatic and one is not but there' a big price difference. Hydrostatic costs twice as much. How critical is it to get the one calling for hydrostatic. Also what type oil is best in 1734 E model. Viscocity etc. ? Any advice appreciated.
Thank You.

I don't have Massey, I have Kubota. Oil, hydraulic, and HST filters are all different sizes. You do definitely want to use the appropriate filter for your HST transmission. I believe it's a finer filter than your hydraulic filter. Think of repair costs and go with the correct filter in the proper place.

Ok. Thank You for the response. Makes sense to get the hydrostatic Oil Filter.

I use a factory filter for my MILs MF 1750M. For oil I used Rotella T6 5w-40. I would recommend using the MF filter for the hydro for sure. Look in the owner's manual for they type of hydro oil when it comes time and/or ask a MF dealer. Don't come on here and ask people. Too nice of a tractor to take chances or cut corners on those items. JMO.

depending on serial number engine can have 2 oil filters.

Why is the motor oil filter different if it’s a hydro transmission? Lack of engine bay clearance for a larger filter, maybe?

motor has 2 spin on filters and depending on the serial number one is a different part number.
I glanced at the mechanical transmission one and looked like same engine oil filter numbers but don't quote me on that.
