I am sharing implements between tractors currently. A John Deere 6200 and and IHC 1586. So far I have been avoiding mixing hydraulic fluids.
But, in time, I am sure that one tractor will be here and the other tractor there. Do I still need to worry about cross-contamination between the two manufacturers? Should I switch one tractor over to the other oil? And if so, which one? Or will regular fluid changes be sufficient? Is there another oil that could be used in both to be compatible?
I remember having to keep our IHC Hydro 100 separate from the 30 and 40 series John Deeres when they were all new, but I do not know if this has changed or not.
Thanks.
