I'd just like to do what's best for my backhoe and I don't believe it's running cheap traveller's premium universal fluid. JD hyguard meets case's hytran spec, but not the other way around and people have had problems running hytran in jd tractors, but no problems running hyguard in case tractors. I've also been told by a couple farmers that the John Deere hyguard is better. System and transaxle hold something like 30 gal or so. Soon I'd like to change the fluid out and get the best fluid in there as possible without giving up both my arms lol. I been topping off with traveller's premium universal fluid. I'd have to go into a local case dealer, but seen $95 for 5 gal of hytran on the net. The factory spec I believe is case hytran in everything except the engine. I believe most of its life it's just had universal tractor fluid in it.
Hello, I have recently bought a '94 case 580sk backhoe.
