PLEASE HELP...I HAVE A BOBCAT CT225 TRACTOR, HYDROSTATIC , 4WD, TRANSMISSION AND HYDRAULICS SHARE THE SAME OIL/FLUID EACH WITH SEPARATE FILTER...I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO MAKES THE HYDRAULIC FLUID FOR BOBCAT AND/OR WHAT WOULD BE A LESS EXPENSIVE EQUIVALENT??? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP..

I don't know who makes it for Bobcat or Kioti but just about any UTF meets the spec for use in either. I am using Amsoils tractor hydraulic in my Kioti CK25HST which is the twin on a CT225.

Amsoil UTF is the more expensive route, you can buy Supertech UTF at walmart or just go to Napa and get some cheap UTF. I used gear oil in the front diff. If you have HST then you need just short of 8 gallons of UTF if you use gear oil in the front diff, with UTF in the front diff you need 9.5 gallons.

Thank you! Any recomendations for or against the Traveller stuff from Tractor Supply? Also, did you change your fluid at the first 50 hour service, or did you just change filters and not change fluid until later?

I changed the fluid and filters since I was going to all amsoil. I have no issues with the UTF available at TSC since many, many people are using it. If cost is an issue I would use it or Napa UTF, Walmart supertech would actually be last on my list.

Go to an oil jobber and they can cross reference the oil to their brand.

I use the Bobcat oil as it is comparatively priced for me.
