[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1625188, member: 19817"] The dozer guy was self admittedly using the "traveller" brand tractor transmission oil from TSC. After sending parts, oil samples, and piece to mother Deere for analysis they blame the oil. After seeing the failure and the oil that came out with my own eyes as well as the oil test results I also blame the oil. He used the machine hard as it was intended and designed to be used, tho the oil met the "spec" the additive package was not able to withstand the heat so it broke down. A hydro mower sees a totally different life than a hydrostatic tractor, backhoe, dozer etc. Comparing the two is like comparing a Geo Metro to an F350 diesel. As a guy who fixes all kinds of equipment daily. I've been inside more transmissions, rear axles, engines, etc in the last few weeks that most people will see in a lifetime. I've seen what oil breakdown looks like dozens of times (have the samples and lab tests to backup that statement) so for me it is cheap to run a premium oil. The little extra for the good oil is way cheaper than fixing expensive parts. [/QUOTE]
