Alternate hydraulic oils are available, but they do not equal the performance or longevity
of the “Hydrex XV” oil. Consult the following information supplied by the oil distributor.
HYDRAULICS
Some equipment and components such as a fluid engagement clutch (PTO) have their own lubrication
requirements. Consult their manufactures manual for that information.
