[AT] Off-topic: Bobcat hydraulic fluid

[Herb Metz]

Spencer's last sentence "convenience and lack of free time for unnecessary 
driving" was my dad's reasoning for never throwing any iron away. The 
nearest implement dealers and salvage yards were 20 miles away; Dad's rule 
was 35 MPH for the old 36 Chevy, so it took considerable time to go most 
anywhere. When he retired in 1968 we had a huge pile of scrap iron to haul 
off.
Dad finally bought a new Chevy in 49. Herb(GA)

The other reason I do not want to use bobcat brand is because the dealership 
is about 45 minutes away. Tractor supply is 12 minutes :-).  Since I am just 
topping off I only need to buy the gallon jug so we're not talking about a 
big monetary difference. It's more about convenience and lack of free time 
for unnecessary driving.

Thanks for all the advice!
