I would STRONGLY recommend ONLY using John Deere's Hydraulic fluid; its called Hy-gard. Hydraulic fluid is one thing you definitely don't want to cut cost saving corners on, regardless of the make of the tractor. My family farms about 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans. We have both John Deere and Case IH tractors. My Dad learned this lesson the hard way many years ago. He thought he could save some money and use a generic brand of hydraulic fluid. It foamed up and caused a huge mess. The entire system had to be flushed. I have also heard of other situations where generic fluids, because they lack certain properties, damaging equipment. The viscosity and other elements of a generic fluid could be different than that of the manufacturer's brand. To each thir own, but I would not risk using anything but the fluids sold both manufacturer. For a few extra dollars, you may save yourself a LOT of problems and headaches down the road.
