Different Hydraulic oils and such

   / Different Hydraulic oils and such #11  
Tractor fluid is hydraulic fluid with additives to make wet clutches and brakes work properly. If you didn't add all that much hydraulic fluid, like a few quarts, it's probably fine. All you've done is diluted the additives a little. If you added gallons, I'd change the fluid.

Yeah ^^ it's the additives package that makes the difference. I know CAT switched my mini-ex to TO-4 from TO-2 because the additives in TO-2 were eating the metals in the trans and hydros & causing failures. Best to go with the specs recommended by the OEM.

Sorry for the delay, was not able to get on this site the last couple of days. Thanks to all of the replies and suggestions. I have decided to take it in to the dealer and let him do a 300 hr service (it has 272 hrs on it) that way it can be done right and I just have not got the time to do the service myself.
