Claas went on to Total lubricants last year

JD is using shell currently

I believe that Kubota oil is from Total as well. Not Morris. Unless they have an exclusive UK arrangement.
Lubricants are bulky and do tend to be sourced on a regional basis by many brands.
I wonder, for instance, whether Morris supply MF/AGCO on mainland Europe? They certainly don’t for the factory fill and there is confirmation of that on a sticker attached to every new tractor.

Kubota oil is make in UK according to the can (see bottom right hand corner of the can)

BUT JCB oil comes from Belgium (see bottom centre of can)

Changing the ram seal would of been cheaper

there not that bad to do if you can find a part number after getting it apart

I know from experience that the rams on these trailers (I have 2) are complete and utter pigs to do!. Last one I got a local hydraulic and engineering firm to do it....

The data sheet for Kubota UTTO says that it was compiled in association with Total. It doesn't surprise me that they would source it in the UK for the UK though.

I could be wrong but I think Q8 were supplying JCB from their plant in Belgium.....but, the costs of exporting it to the UK went up after brexit & I'm not sure if they fell out or if JCB wouldn't pay the extra but they have parted company, so I'm not sure who's picked that contract up.

It's the £000's that it costs to get the OEM "full approval" instead of "meets the spec" that drives the price up.

To be clear, the oil companies have to pay the vehicle manufacturer to have the manufacturer-specific performance specification approval code for the oil they supply.
In the case of tractors there is absolutely no need for manufacturer specific spec codes anyway, because they must, by law, also make available the international accreditation for the engine lubricants, which by the way the oil companies also have to pay a ransom for.

In 95% of cases all agricultural machines require is oil that meets an international standard of performance and viscosity. That standard is printed in the instruction books. Almost all transmissions with wet clutches and brakes require a UTTO or SUTO with a certain specified viscosity range. Axles may require an EP oil of heavier viscosity but not all by any means.
