How do you fill plow hydraulic fluid?
With the blade in the straight position and the plow lowered to the ground, check the fluid level. Fluid should be visible in the external fill port. If fluid is not visible, fill until visible. Your reservoir should now be properly filled.
Can I use ATF in my Fisher plow?
We don’t recommend ATF for use in our snowplows. ATF can hold moisture and can cause problems with the valves freezing and or frost build up on the pick-up screen of the pump. We recommend using a snowplow specific fluid like our HINIKER COLD FLOW oil which meets a military spec.
How many quarts does a Fisher Plow hold?

What is the difference between red and clear hydraulic fluid?
Well-known member. White is pure hyd oil , red is for transmissions and power steering systems.
What kind of fluid goes in a snow plow pump?
ATF can hold moisture and can cause problems with the valves freezing and or frost build up on the pick-up screen of the pump. We recommend using a snowplow specific fluid like our HINIKER COLD FLOW oil which meets a military spec. of 5606. It’s sold in quarts and gallons.

What can you put in hydraulic fluid to keep it from freezing?
Heating blankets are the best way to maintain viscosity in your hydraulic fluid. These blankets can be designed to perfectly align the size and temperature with the needs or your equipment. Most importantly, heating blankets are able to maintain consistent temperatures and provide insulation to prevent heat seepage.
What is M1 hydraulic fluid?
Meyer M1 Hydraulic fluid is scientifically formulated to synchronize with internal components to withstand the extreme temperatures of the summer and winter.
Can you mix clear and red hydraulic fluid?
Mixing oils with different additive packages is never recommended. Doing so could compromise the additive performance of both constituents, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear.
Can you use ATF in Fisher plow?
How cold is too cold for hydraulic fluid?
-10 degrees Fahrenheit
Even though the freezing point that causes hydraulic oil to gel and become unusable is -10 degrees Fahrenheit, a much lower threshold than the ambient freezing point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, fluid can still increase in viscosity before gelling, causing performance issues with hydraulic pumps and motors.
What hydraulic oil is best for cold weather?
Minus 70 Hydraulic Oil is a special anti-wear hydraulic oil designed for extreme low temperature operations where high fluid mobility is of utmost importance. This oil has an extremely high viscosity index which guarantees excellent fluidity and very low torque under these adverse cold conditions.
