Thanks fortec, I won't be using any Wal-Mart oil.

I'm no oil expert, But it looks to me like the Wal Mart brand meets the same specs as the other tractor transmission fluid that have been linked here.

I've been running house brand for years, never an evidence of lube failure.

Our local TSC stocks Shell S4 TXM which is a direct replacement for Permatran.

I am about to use Super S SuperTrac 303 Tractor Hydraulic Fluid, 5 gal. - For Life Out Here in Kubota B1750. I choosed the Super S based on the scientific reasoning that unlike other TSC fluids it lists Kubota on the label.

I searched high and low and could not find any reason why not to use it, but before I pull the plug. I am asking here. Anybody had a bad experience with the Super S?

The local Kubota dealer carriers SUDT for $80 but:

1. he says SUDT did not exist when my tractor was made.
2. he is the type of a salesman that will not get his *** up to talk to customer and I find it offensive - will never buy anything from him.

if it is an older kubota prior to the udt specs, then a generic listing kubota is likely fine.

In many cases some of the economy oils tend to be higher in viscosity when cold vs a premium oil.

I'd use this over the 303 which is for older tractors. it's what i use in my new Mahindra.
