Thanks everyone but I was looking for no politics, deliberations, judgements, or condescending opinions. Perhaps this is not the right forum for large modern ag equipment.

Thats awful.
Someone here on TBN remarked long ago that WalMart oils were actually good quality oils. Ive never bought anything from them other than DEF fluid
From one farmer to another, sorry for your troubles.

Ughhh, that`s terrible, so sorry. There`s a good reason why i always run the OEM stuff. Parts to fluids, OEM is all i`ll ever use.

Stepping over a dollar to save a dime just don`t make sense, to me. Cheap will always cost you more, in the long run.

Have you sent oil samples for analysis? Would be interested in where the compatability issues are.

Just that the post is SO wordy sends me a signal that there is more to the story than is told.

From my EXPERIENCE, oil is oil.
I will need to see scienterrific compatibily issues before I condemn any products.

Nice first post.
Welcome to TBN..... NOT.
So, you're one of the largest farms in your county, and you didn't have 10 gallons of hygard in the barn?
Really?!
No, really?
And your fellow farmers wouldn't help you out?
Really?

Welcome to TBN. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I use only OEM products on my tractors and vehicles. I try to keep enough fluids on hand for emergencies. Fortunately for our neighborhood John Deere owners our local JD dealer has 24-hour parts and service available. I know several guys who had to get them out after hours for hay baling supplies and service. It isn't cheap but when you need something to keep from having to stop working, it is worth it in my humble opinion. Especially if the hay is on the ground with rain in the forecast.

There does seem to be a lot of claims without any supporting information given, and not for lack of words.

Good warning. I have always stuck with Deere Hy-Gard or Kubota SUDT and not mixed the two or any other fluid.
