Synthetic Blend Biodegradable Tractor Hydraulic Fluid
BioFlo SB THF is tractor hydraulic fluid formulated from a blend of natural and synthetic esters. It is readily biodegradable, with high-lubricity base oils and proprietary anti-wear and anti-corrosion additives. BioBlend's tractor hydraulic fluid is a multifunctional oil for high-pressure tractor hydraulics, transmissions and final drives that share a common reservoir. BioFlo SB THF protects against varnish and sludge in harsh operating environments and is optimized for year round use, eliminating the need to change oils based on summer and winter conditions.
Suitable for use in any industry (construction, refuse, mining, dredging, marine, agriculture, forestry, etc.) utilizing mobile or stationary equipment where a UTTO is required, especially systems where a release into the environment is possible or where a leak or spill could reach a waste stream.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Hydraulic Fluid Goes In a Tractor?
Most tractors use specialized tractor hydraulic fluid, often called THF, UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil), or tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid. This type of fluid is designed for equipment where the hydraulics, transmission, wet brakes, and final drives may share a common reservoir.
Always check your equipment manual for the required fluid specification before switching products.
What's the Difference Between Tractor Hydraulic Fluid and Regular Hydraulic Fluid?
The main difference between THF and regular hydraulic fluid is that tractor hydraulic fluid is multifunctional, while regular hydraulic fluid is typically designed only for hydraulic systems.
A standard hydraulic fluid is usually made to transfer power, lubricate hydraulic components, and protect against wear in pumps, valves, and cylinders. Tractor hydraulic fluid has to do more. In many tractors and off-road machines, the same fluid may also serve the transmission, final drives, and wet brake systems, so it must provide the right balance of friction performance, anti-wear protection, corrosion protection, and gear lubrication.
BioBlend BioFlo FS THF is formulated with synthetic, readily biodegradable, high-lubricity base oils and proprietary anti-wear and anti-corrosion additives. It is designed to protect against varnish and sludge in harsh operating environments and is optimized for year-round use, helping eliminate the need to change oils based on summer and winter conditions. BioFlo SB THF is available for those who need a synthetic blend.
Is There a Universal Hydraulic Fluid?
There is no single hydraulic fluid that is universal for every machine or hydraulic system. However, there are universal tractor transmission oils, commonly called UTTOs, that are designed for tractors and equipment requiring one fluid for multiple systems.
BioFlo FS THF is suitable for use where a UTTO is required, especially in mobile or stationary equipment operating in industries such as agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, dredging, marine, refuse, and oil and gas. It is especially useful in applications where a leak or spill could reach the environment or a waste stream because it is classified as an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) and is readily biodegradable.
The right fluid still depends on the manufacturer’s specifications. BioFlo FS THF is appropriate where its listed specifications and performance requirements match the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
