My basic question is can Case-IH HyTran be used in a JD 4055 Pwr Shift?
My neighbor is mostly Case-IH and so has HyTran on hand. He recently bought at auction a JD 4055 Power Shift and would prefer to use one Hydraulic oil on his farm, HyTran. I did find a chart on GreenTalk that gave the additives, HyTran seems to be considered a Zinc-Free oil. The JD HyGuard has Zinc in it and in a separate post a comment was made Zinc is required for the brakes. Also, what about the Power Shift Clutches?
So, can anyone give me some solid direction here? This farmer has been told by others "it all comes out of the same pipe" but did ask me to see if I could find any data suggesting HyTran would not be a good substitute for HyGuard.
Thanks.
Paul
