Tell Us Your Story
- Earl Brandes from Central City, NE
- “As a young farmer in Central City, Neb., during the 1950s, my wife and I considered buying a house in town. We bought a red tractor instead. Luckily, I still have both. In fact, I’ve been using Hy-Tran for all our Red machines since it first came out in 1963.”
Now THAT’S a Hy-Tran Man. And you are, too. Tell us why you’re proud to drive Case IH machines and use Hy-Tran to keep them running smoothly. Who knows? Maybe we’ll feature your story in a future Hy-Tran advertisement. Regardless, thanks for sharing - and for using Hy-Tran.
Testimonials
- Neil Metcalfe from Treherne, MB
- “We have been using Case IH Hy-Tran since the mid 1980's with NO hydraulic pump, transmission or hydrualic problems whatsoever. We have 3 Case IH Magnum tractors with over 10,000 hours and the transmissions & hydraulics work the same way they did brand-new. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else's hydraulic/transmission oil in any of my equipment. The same goes for Case IH #1 Engine Oil-no engine problems in over 20 years.”
- Chip Grube from Appleton, MN
- “I purchased my first red tractor (1086) in 1985. In an effort to cut corners, I switched to a co-op's trans/hydraulic oil. Within two years I had bushings and seals going out on the three point rock shaft, the hydraulic system wasn't working like it should, and I had a final drive and differential failure. Since then, I switched back to Hy-tran and have never looked back. I now use it in all my equipment regardless of color or age, including my 1958 Farmall 450 Diesel. Hy-tran is a good, complete hydraulic and transmission oil with superior lubricating qualities.”
- Ryan Bender from Story City, IA
- “As a son of a 3rd generation farmer there has only been room for one color of productivity in our machine shed. Red is the color that runs through our veins and fields, and Hy-Tran has been our only option to carry the tradition of excellence into the future. Those with the highest standards know what it takes to be the best, and Hy-Tran is the life blood getting us there. Generations of productivity won't settle for second place. That is why I'm a Hy-Tran Man.”
- Pete Jordan from Buffalo, NY
- “My dad bought his first red tractor in ’74. And he worked that thing to death! He handed it down to me in ’86. I still use it. And I still use Hy-Tran. Like my Red, it just works. That’s why I’m a Hy-Tran Man.”
