hydraulic fluid compatibility question

I have a John Deere 5510 tractor and an ASV tracked loader (like a tracked Bobcat). I would like to be able to use the clamshell bucket and the the grapple that I have for the tracked loader on the John Deere. I've already got a quick attach adapter for the John Deere and my front end loader is already plumbed to actuate a grapple. However, I am a bit concerned about the difference between the hydraulic fluid used in the ASV (standard hydraulic fluid) and the fluid used in the John Deere (UDT hydraulic transmission fluid), and the cross-contamination that will occur due to the fluid in the hydraulic cylinders on the grapple and clamshell. Should I be worried about this at all, or are the two fluids compatible enough that the small volume transferred won't be a problem? Thanks for any insight.

I would definately not mix different oils. I worked 32 years with hydrolic machinery, and I've seen what can happen when oils are mixed. Mobile dte24 is an excellent oil with very good lubricating properties. It's very friendly to rubber seals. If you use fire resistant oil, you'll have to use viton seals and they're a lot more expensive. 10 weight motor oil might work just as well..... ..... ...rw

salser: My reaction, put Deere oil in both. 30 years ago Deere had the best oil I expect they still do. I used Deere torque guard in IH, Case, MF and Deere. You can pck out hydraulic systems using Deere hydraulic oil, the cylinder rams have a gleam like no other. Believe me, I changed 8 machines.

my first thought is why not put jd oil in both, then you wouldn't have to worry, if that oil meets the specics for the loader. what ever anybody does don't use valvoline hyd oil in anything. it ate the pto clutches up in an ih 574 for me. lots of fun to repace that clutch pack.
