    You should pay a visit to www.m a s k i n i s t e n.com what they don't know about Akermans isn't worth knowing.

    It should be .net instead of .com, my mistake

    Info Checkout the Amsoil website for fluid recommendation. On the home page on the right side of the page they have a lookup site that will tell you what to use in your equipment. If you decide to go with Amsoil please contact me and i can tell you how to get it at wholesale prices. Thanks Jayar

    You should run hydraulic 46 oil in that machine.

    Once you have selected the hydraulic oil for your machine please contact me and we can discuss how to improve the performance and uptime for your h12b.

    I had a mechanic who specializes in Akermans recommend the 46 oil for my H10b

    Is it my imagination or are we getting a bit commercial lately?

    I agree. The rainfall isn't the only reason for wearin' hip waders.... But it appears most of the advertising was done back in post's #5 & #7
