What Type of Brake Fluid Should Be Used with the 12" Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit
Updated 02/25/2022 | Published 02/24/2022
Question:
A lot of farm equipment manufacturers use the brakes on the farm implements they make. Can I use the hydraulic system from a tractor to activate the brake instead of DOT 3 brake fluid? Will tractor hydraulic fluid light weight oil affect the seals in the brake cylinders adversely? What material are the seals made of? Thank you

The brake fluid specifications for the surge brake system usually comes from the actuator but we can only recommend using DOT (Usually 3/4) fluid with the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit part # T4489600-500 as outlined my the manufacturer.
