I would recommend that you check the manual, but since you are asking here, you probably don't have the manual available.
You don't generally have problems with mixed fluids, but if you had synthetics in there, you would degrade their properties if you added a petroleum fluid. It is most likely that you have petroleum based fluid in there and I have mixed fluids before to top off a reservoir without any problems. Most hydraulic fluids have to meet the same testing specifications even if they come from different sources.
Personally I use NH 134 fluid in my NH tractor. It should work fine in your Koiti also. I use the NH fluid in my AC fork lift and other places. ....
