Can I use Rotella Universal T/F in my M/F 30E?

[69judge]

I have 10gal. of Rotella Universal Tractor Fluid and would like to know if I can use it in my 1989 Massey Ferguson 30E loader in the transmission/diff and loader hydraulics? The manual calls for Dexron II/ATF in the loader hydraulics, and Mobiland Super Universal in the Trans/diff? The Rotella says it can be used in both?

You probably can but personally I wouldn't chance it. ATF is a 10 weight oil, about an ISO 32. Tractor fluid is much heavier. There is so much more to a lubricant than most people understand. I trust the people that made the tractor more than I trust the guy making the fluid.

BTW, 69Judge? Details dude, I love those cars. I hope your name doesn't come from being a judge on an adult film set.

Welcome aboard. I have a 1985 MF 30E as well. Not to many of them around it seems. Mine calls for Permatran III in the transmission. I am in the middle of a debate with myself whether or not ot change it. 13 gal. 1000 hr on it and oil analysis says it is a little high in copper and lead , the clutch plates I think. Also has some sludge in it.
Friends who are farmers say, light use don't bother, MF says change it , it is cheaper than a transmission. $350 or so.
There are 3rd party transmission oil suppliers whose label says equiv to Permatran III. If it calls for ATF I am not sure the Rotella would work.
I use regular tractor hydraulic oil in the Loader / Hoe system. It blew the main boom hose last year, that was a few gallons.
Where are you located?
