[NY_Yankees_Fan]

Which one do you use to replace SUDT??

Tractor Hydraulic Fluids

Chevron 1000 THF
Chevron Synthetic All-Weather THF
Chevron Delo® Trans Fluid ESI
Chevron Drive Train Fluid MP

I have to change the oil in few weeks this may be an option, IF I can find it.

Thanks

I have used the Chevron All Weather Synthetic THF since my 50 hr fluid change on the L3710. No problems except getting it. The local Chevron guy says no one uses it this far south and he has to special order it from somewhere up north.

Well...SH**! Local Chevron distributor just called and said that Chevron only packages the stuff in 55 gal drums!!!...geeze!! ( Or I could buy in bulk....LMAO)

I contacted the NJ distributor and got this! OH Well, guess this is NOT an option if you live in NJ.

There are no retail distributors of this product in New Jersey.
We have the product available in 55 gallon drums out of our

Carteret, NJ warehouse.
Price per drum is: $ 851.95

My local distributor from that site doesn't have it either.

I also could order the oil through a distributor, the size, 55 gallon drum. The price was very close to sudt, so I purchased the sudt.

It is my impression that these companies do not care about the little guy.

While I can get the Chevron AW in 5 gallon containers, it was special ordered and the guy mentioned nobody orders it much and he was wondering why I was. I don't think it is a matter of not caring about the little guy, I think it has as much to do with economics and practicality of stocking a relatively slow moving product. I also agree that for the price difference, SUDT is fine. Other then the orange color to help see it on the stick, it does not have any observable difference.
