Contaminated hydraulic fluid decreases the life of the hydraulic pump and system, and can lead to more serious issues if not regularly changed out. Viscosity is the single most important factor when selecting a hydraulic fluid to use in the skid steer.
What kind of hydraulic system does a skid steer have?
A skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic system provides the hydraulic flow that drives the machine’s attachments. The key to remember is that not all attachments have the same hydraulic flow requirement.
