[AT] OT(?) Cub Cadet 1812 Hydro question

[charliehill]

I think hydraulic equipment is a lot more forgiving of the type of oil than 
we think.  The guys around here that do marine construction are in big 
trouble if they get petroleum in the water so they all run vegetable oil in 
their hydraulic systems.  If it spills overboard it's not a problem.  They 
are running it in excavators, backhoes, and all sorts of hydraulic powered 
pumps and motors.
