Can I use tractor supply hydraulic fluid in my case 580 super M backhoe?
Good point.This is just my opinion but where it says on that label "Recommended for the following applications" in my mind that does not necessarily mean the same as "Meets or exceeds the requirements of specification X". All good-quality oils will have the latter somewhere on the spec sheet.
Also from that list above, Caterpillar TO-2 is a specification that disappeared probably 30 years ago.
I agree but I'll give them a half a pass on this subject. They carry shell sperex(spelling?) And Mobil 424. And I'll use either where applicableThe old adage of - "If it has farm, tractor, or universal in either the name of the lubricant or of the organization selling it, walk way. Better still - run" comes to mind.
We used to refer to such sellers as "Joe Blow's Gas & Groceries."
