Hi Phil,

The ATF will be fine in the splitter. Universal tractor fluid is fine. AW32, AW46, or AW68 would also be fine. That's about the most basic hydraulic system you've going to find. The needs aren't great, so long as it's not foaming too bad. I would just pick one fluid and stick to it. I use the UTF in all my hydraulic systems because it's cheap and easy to keep around...
As far as the stalling goes.... That could be a releif valve. It could also be that you have more pump there than the 3000 wants to turn when the pressure rises. If he used a truck cylinder, he may have used a truck pump... and a big truck pump will easily stall that tractor dead if it's not geared right, and the tractor wound out... Post up a picture of the pump, and the drive arrangment, or figure out the drive ratio. HTH.

Rod
