0-40 synthetic oil

I think I found it on their web site but what they said about their 0-XX viscosity syn is that it basically doesn"t solidify. So there's your lower temp limit. They just put the 0 on the container as they had to put something.

Course the other end (30, 40, or 50) means that it retains the viscosity of those oils at the hotter temps as you know.

Sounds like a real deal. I have however, noticed on testing (shown on the same site) that big engine mfgrs (Cat Cummins Mack) give passing grades to the 15-50 on tests that the 10-30 fails so there is still some quirk to holding the hot vis.

I"m in Texas and just mix 1 and Delvac (20-80%) 15w-50/40 in everything but air cooled where I use straight syn. Also use the blended syn gear lube when I can. On really cold days you can feel some sluggishness in starting but not too bad.

Are you in Sannich or in the Vic area.

What model Belarus do you have and what do you think of it.

I have a 825 belarus with cab, loader and mfd. Back when I was shopping for a used 70-80 hp mfd loader/chore tractor with cab on it the few year old Belarus's were by far the better deal. They wanted double or more for a 20 year old used domestic with lots of hrs compared to this 825.

I've had it now 7 years already and its been a real handy utlity tractor to have around the farm. Problem is I don't have a/c so when it comes to field work like baling my drivers don't care to drive it on hot days! I really didn't buy for a field tractor. However we use it more it seems for haying running a 3rd baler and sometimes cutting hay when the other 2 tractors are tied up baling or something. Heck it pulls a 16ft disc too not bad but again I got 2 nicer more comfy tractors to drive for field work before I'll take out the Belarus! It has some good idea's on it and some wierd ones. I like the feature to shift the Hydraulic pump out of gear. Don't need that running all day for nothing when baling.

I was skeptical at first but after the first week we had it exceeded my expectations so I'm happy with it. Like I mentioned it's not my main tractor and it only gets around 150hrs a year on it. I think I have close to 3000 hrs on it now or there abouts. The way it runs I'll never wear it out at 150hrs a year. I've had to fix a few things on if over the years but nothing out of ordinary when it comes to farm machinery. Parts have never been a problem so far.
