Esso Spartan ep680 ?

[FG.]

My oil supplier said stick ep 80/90 in, would that be correct?

May I ask what you are intending putting EP 80/90 in please?

Powerharrow gearbox.
Got a label saying 'Spartan EP680' on the side of the box

Might not be perfect but 1000000 times better than running it dry.
Must be EP though .

I reckon you'd be right.
Just drained it after planting last field and thought I'd try and put the right stuff back in.
My workshop used to some gearoil, Agricastrol mp, bit hydraulic and grease.
Now I've got a bewildering array of different engine, tranny, hydraulic, greases, adblue, additives.

We used to have a trailed Kidd Clipper and that needed the absolute best EP oil available otherwise it would only last a couple of thousand acres.

That’ll be a Lely then if asking for MEP 680.
An ISO 680 is at the top end of an SAE 140, so that would be nearer than an 80w/90.
EP 680’s are available.
