Fluids and Filters

[Torvy]

I don't see a thread that covers the consumables for the TYM models. We seem to have some info for some of them, but I thought maybe I could get info and start a thread to hold some common info.

My T574H arrives on Saturday. I would like to pick up spare parts/consumables so I have them in stock when they are needed.

I would like to know what engine oil and filters and hydraulic fluid and filters I should get. Like many, I want the best quality at the lowest price. Haha

At some point soon, I will also want to get spare hydraulic lines and any other tidbits y'all find useful to have around.

We are in zone 8a, so cold weather is rare and short-lived. I'm thinking water in rears with a few gallons of washer fluid to lower the freezing temp a little.

Shell Rotella T6 15w40 engine oil, Mobil Delvac Tractor Hydraulic Fluid for transmission case, 80/90 gear oil in front differential and lithium base grease of your choosing is my recommendation.

I like marine grease for outdoor equipment but that's just me. More water and corrosion resistance....

I'm picking up a box blade from my dealer, I'll probably pick up the filters needed for the first service at the same time. I think the first 50 hours will come quick.
