A tractor that starts at dawn in subzero weather, idles while bales are cut open, and shuts down for the day sees cold starts and short runs. Use the cold-weather viscosity the engine maker permits, keep block heaters working, and treat diesel for cold flow.
Haying season is the busy season
Service balers, rakes, and swathers before the first cutting, not between storms. Change gearbox oil and grease every point on the chart while the machine is clean and parked.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Tractors and bale handling
Loader tractors feed hay all winter. Match the tractor maker’s transmission-hydraulic fluid and plan an engine oil viscosity that suits cold starts in your climate.

Frequently asked questions
What grease should I use on a round baler?
The grease and NLGI grade the baler maker lists. Some balers specify different lubricants for chains, bearings, and gearboxes; check the lubrication chart.
Does my UTV transmission need its own fluid?
Many side-by-sides use separate CVT, transmission, and differential fluids. Follow the vehicle’s service manual for each compartment.
