Chipper Jinma Wood Chipper Hydraulic Fluid

[GoodGuy]

I am curious as to what type of fluid most Jinma Wood Chipper owners use in the gearbox that controls the hydraulic feed. Thanks

Use 75w90 gear oil filled up to the dot.

We install 80W90. Nothing wrong with 75w90 in the gear box that drives the mechanical feed drum.

I am not aware that Jinma has a hydraulic feed ?? Can you post a picture ?

Thanks for replies...
My choice of words was not correct; I meant the gearbox that turns the feed roller. Would it be better to run synthetic or is the straight 80w90 preferred??

I put some Lucas in all gear boxes using 80-90wt. I just had a friend that I told to do that, blow a seal on his mower box. It ran for a while before he found it. It was bone dry of fluid but still running warm to the touch in 90+ weather. I credit the Lucas.
