The Champion equivalent of JOHN DEERe Hy-Gard J20C hydraulic fluid is typically Champion's "Universal Tractor Fluid" or similar products designed for agricultural and construction equipment. These fluids are formulated to meet the required specifications for performance and compatibility with various hydraulic systems, ensuring optimal operation. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for specific applications to ensure compatibility.

Shell's Donax TDL meets the J20D requirement. The Donax TD meets the John Deere JD20C requirement.
There is no industry standard for hydraulic/transmission oil. John Deere states that any 3rd party oil can very possibly damage the Deere Machine. Therefore, there is no one substitute that can reliably be used in both John Deere J20C and Cat applications.
For a John Deere 2010, it is recommended to use John Deere Hy-Gard transmission fluid, which is specifically formulated for their equipment. Alternatively, you can also use an equivalent fluid that meets the specifications for a J20C or J20D standard. Always consult the operator's manual for your specific model to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
The John Deere 770 BH motor grader typically uses a specific type of transmission and hydraulic fluid known as John Deere Hy-Gard or an equivalent fluid meeting the same specifications. It's important to use fluids that conform to the JDM J20C standard for optimal performance and protection of the machine’s hydraulic and transmission systems. Always consult the operator's manual for the most accurate and detailed specifications related to fluids.
John Deere recomends using JD Low viscosity Hy-Gard Transmission/Hydraulic fluid in it's equipment. Please check your owner's manual for any specific requirements, if one is available. There is no equivalent on the market that I could find. The fluid keeps solvent in low temperatures and can be used in Transmissions and Hydraulics, separate or common resevoirs. I am not a John Deere expert..just a owner/user. From a web site... Hy-GARD® JDM J20C Transmission and Hydraulic Oil John Deere Hy-GARD® provides the absolute best performance and wear protection for John Deere hydraulic and transmission systems. John Deere Hy-GARD® is recommended for equipment with either common system reservoirs or separate transmission and hydraulic systems including those with wet brakes and wet clutches. John Deere Hy-GARD® is an exclusive formulation containing a viscosity improver additive to assure optimum viscosity at all temperatures. This additive provides critical component protection, especially during startup and under heavy load. John Deere Hy-GARD® also contains friction modifiers to provide smoother clutch engagement and higher braking capacity with minimum chatter. John Deere Hy-GARD® exceeds JDM J20C specifications and only John Deere Hy-GARD meets John Deere's exacting performance requirements.
For a John Deere 544C, you should use John Deere J20C or J20D transmission oil, as these are specifically formulated for the hydraulic and transmission systems in their equipment. Always check the operator's manual for the most accurate specifications and recommendations, as they may vary based on the machine's usage and operating conditions. Regularly changing the transmission oil is also crucial for maintaining optimal performance.
1.) Buy yourself an MF 50 tractor Owner's Manual. Try your local Massey Ferguson dealer or search online. Places like eBay and such are good places to try for used manuals. 2.) Go to Tractor Supply Co. and buy yourself an I&T Service Manual. (They are cheaper than the OEM MF manuals, but are not as comprehensive, and are more geared towards mechanics.) Also, it depends on what you are talking about. - The Hydraulic System? - The Engine? (...and is it a gas or diesel)? - What climate do you run the tractor in? Cold? Temperate? Hot? Generically speaking: - Engine - Regardless of temp, for most climates, you can run 10W-30 in the engine safely, no matter what. Cold? (0-60 degrees F) 5w-30 or 10w-30 or SAE 10 Temperate? (30-90 deg F) 10w-30 or 10w40 (or 15w-40 if diesel) Hot? (60-120 deg F) 10w-30 or 15w-40 or SAE 30 - Trans & Hyd - I believe the MF 50 uses a "common-sump" transmission/hydraulic system. Therefore, any good quality modern Transmission AND Hydraulic Fluid can be used. Honestly, even if they were separate sumps, you still could use the same fluid in this case. Fluids commonly known as: - TH fluid - Universal Tractor Hydraulic AND Transmission Fluid - John Deere's: HY-Gard J20C - Case IH's: HY-Tran - Massey Ferguson's PermaTran III (may be a higher roman numeral these days, as I haven't bought "MF brand" oil in a long time) - and Various other names that most Universal Tractor Transmission & Hydraulic fluids go by. DO NOT use straight hydraulic fluid or straight transmission fluids. You will not get as good of performance, and you will not have the right additives in your oil for the application. Your rear axle final drives may be separate from your transmission. I believe they are. For them, a good 80W-90 or SAE 90W oil would suffice. Kudos! ~AJ
