So do any of you borrow/lend out equipment with hyd. cylinders. Any concerns on the mixing of different oils when doing this. I relize there are filters on the tractor but curious anyway...
 
There are very, very few people I would loan an implement to, but the ones I will I usually loan the implement and a tractor. I`m not too worried about mixing oils, any of the older tractors are only going to run cylinders so not nearly as much mixing as running a motor would be, what I worry about is poorly maintained tractors with dirty oil. Metal, rubber, water, rust, I have seen it all floating around in some tractors hyd. oil. There is only one man I can think of that I know takes care of his equipment well enough that I would loan him a hydraulic implement.
 
Me and a neighbor traded machines, I had odd old clunkers, he worked for caseIH, he had nice Farmalls. He made me dump everything out of my back halfs and equipment, and refill with hytran, that he had drums of- which was the only thing in all of his. He called it 'tractor VD'. And I wasn't going to argue.
It isn't just 'oh this or that'- if it is the pumps and transmissions of your fleet you are dealing with.
 
Leroy is right no tractor has hydrolic filters but about tractors past 1960 have hydraulic filters.
 

Filters won't help if wrong type hyd oil is introduced to hyd system by using borrowed hyd cyl. Some types of oil will cause other oils to foam if mixed.
 
Lending out equipment to be hooked up to your
neighbors hydraulic system is a recipe to
DISASTER! !
All of his debris, mismatched oil, water,
wear particles from HIS failing pump, and dirt
from his muddy quick couplers, now belong to
you...and you"re on the road to BREAKDOWN !
