Tranny/hdy fluid

Is Walmart's Super Tech Dexron-111 Mercon Auto Transmission fluid acceptable for LK3054 replcement hydraulic fluid? There are no dealers near me and I need to replace all the fluids since I bought the tractor used. thanks for any replies.

Mo. does it say hydraulic/transmission fuild. If so the answer is yes. Is there a Sam's Club nearby or Tractor Supply store. Sam's club for me was the best price

I had the same experience as Dirtcutter. I checked at TS and Sam's. I think you basically need a UTF (Universal Torque Fluid) that works for both your transmisson and hydraulics. Most of the 6 gallon pails will say UTF or will say Hydraulics/Transmission fluid and will list the tractors that it can be used for. Don't be to alarmed if Kioti isn't listed, I have yet to look at a pail that was except for TRC's oil.

Thanks for the quick replies. I do not believe it says UTF so I guess I should get something else. I do not belong to Sams club and the nearest TSC is 60 miles away but Walmart is right down the road. I will check with Wally World again to see if they have the UTF oil. Thanks again, I'm new to the forum and all you posters have me helped through several issues already.
By the way, even though it's used, my Kioti is way more than I expected.

I purchase my UTF at NAPA made by valvoline in big pails. Those pails get mighty heavy while pouring the UTF into the funnel.

Our local Wal-Mart carries Super Tech -Tractor hydraulic and Transmission fluid.
Napa carries tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid if you have one nearby..

I think UTF is for universal tractor fluid. I have bought it at Autozone. If you live in a humid environment, You might want to look at R&O fluid as well. It has worked well in some of my tractors. Just my view.

If there is no store nearby, why not buy it on the web?

Never seen my Wal-Mart stock tractor fluid. However I was at Sam's last week and noticed that they now carry 5 gallon buckets of Tractor hydraulic fluid. I bought my first ~7 gallon change from Auto Zone.

My local walmart sells the Rotella(Shell in other words) hydraulic fluid in the 5 gallon buckets recommended in my ck25's manual.
