2019 Mahindra 1626 Shuttle Shift Hydraulic Fluid Recommendations

[Roberts2600]

Can anyone tell me what the recommended cross-referenced hydraulic fluid to use in a 2019 Mahindra 1626 Shuttle Shift? Mahindras brand of hydraulic fluid seems rather expensive and I was curious if that is because it is actually a very high grade or a branding thing.

You can continue posting to the same thread--A new thread with the same title is not necessary. But this new forum format confounds me too.

No, I don't think so. I am going to admit I am completely green when it comes to diesel engines, tractors, and hydraulics. The tread from yesterday was about engine oil and brand compatibility. Today I am asking about recommended hydraulic fluids. All I can seem to find online is the Mahindra brand but I am betting there is a brand alternative so I don't have to make a 3-hour round time to my closest dealer. If I am wrong about engine oil and hydraulic fluid not being the same please enlighten me.

Why didn't you post this in the Mahindra owning/operating forum? Any quality hydraulic fluid will work fine. I have a 2005, 2615, same engine as yours. I've never used Mahindra fluids in it.

Because this is where I thought it should go as its an oil. What brand of hydraulic fluid do you use? I'm new to hydraulics so I wouldn't know a bad brand from a good one.

Fair enough. I've been using the Walmart brand of hydraulic fluid with no issues. Super Tech Heavy Duty Tractor Hydraulic and Transmission Fluid, 2 Gallons - Walmart.com

If just adding more hydraulic fluid are you worried about matching additives with the original "Mahindra" fluid with this brand or is it compatible?

For a while I'd drive into the dealer and get "Kubota oil products". It's kind of a PITA because they are right in the middle of Spokane. So ..... I cross referenced and now use a Rotella product. It's available at the local O' Reilly's store - here in Cheney.

No worries. You can mix brands.

Once it's time to replace the hydraulic fluid do folks recommend Traveller Premium Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid, 5 gal.? It comes from tractor supply.
