I use Tractor Supply Traveller Premium Universal Trans/Hydraulic Fluid (#08-0638-3) in my 2008 Mahindra 5525 (54 hp engine, 45 hp pto, constant partial mesh gear tranny). My dealer told me that the larger Mahindra's are not too picky about trans/hyd fluid as long as it satisfies the JD303 spec, which the TSC fluid does.

That TSC stuff also satisfies the Ford/NH 134D spec. Sounds promising, but I'd recommend checking a little further so be sure it's OK for your 7710.

In my neck of the woods, the Costco fluid is within about $1 of WalMart's Supertech fluid.

While I have always been impressed with the quality of Costco house brands, I don't think their tractor fluid is their own brand.

With the WalMart fluid, at least somebody with big bucks is willing to put their name on it. It claims to meet the JD 303 spec and the J20C spec.

I get my trans fluid from Agri-supply for $19 5/gal bucket. It list JD 303 and Hy-guard compatable. In these times you need to be able to find a good deal or two.

Is the tractor still under warranty? If so, I would buy the factory fill from the dealer. Gives them less reasons to hose you on a warranty claim.

If your hydro fluid costs the same as cranberry juice from Kroger you may have saved too much money.

It's made by Warren, which is a major oil company with several smaller companys which rebrand the SAME fluid. Look at the man. of your fluid you, may be surprised who actually makes what. I don't care if they call it clear cat piss, if it does the same thing at a cheaper price.

Yeap, if you are under warranty buy from the dealer and keep records with the sales slip.

I do not like the Walmart branded multi. It seems very 'watery' and thin as compared the New Holland multi TDH. For the extra $15, I generally buy the New Holland stuff.
