Universal Torque Converter Fluid


Description: Primrose introduces a new generation hydraulic/transmission fluid to meet the requirements of the widest range of power equipment. Primrose Plus Universal Torque Converter Fluid meets and exceeds virtually all tractor manufacturers’ specifications, including performance requirements for gears, pumps, differentials, final drives, bearings, wet brakes, and power takeoff (PTO) clutches.  However, UTC Fluid is not just for use on the farm.  It provides superior performance in power-driven off-highway equipment, construction machinery and industrial equipment.  It is the most advanced multi-specification hydraulic/transmission fluid on the market.
Composition: Primrose Plus Universal Torque Converter Fluid contains extreme pressure protection for maximum gear life and special friction modifiers for wet brakes and PTO clutches.  It is also formulated to give superior water tolerance filterability.  Its exceptionally high viscosity index gives it the widest range of operating temperatures.  Special seal conditioners maintain seals to minimize leakage.  Also included for peak efficiency are:

Adhesive/Cohesive Additive Foam Suppressant
Anti-Wear Additive Oxidation Inhibitor
Corrosion Inhibitor Pour Point Depressant
Detergent/Dispersant Additive Rust Inhibitor
Performance Characteristics: Primrose Plus Universal Torque Converter Fluid exceeds all equipment manufacturers’ standards for wear, chatter, brake capacity, PTO performance and filterability.  The following is a look at the various areas of performance in which this fluid excels:

Agricultural Performance:   Primrose Plus Universal Torque Fluid provides superior gear wear protection in two key performance tests.  In the Ford 3000 test, acceptable lubricants allow 2-4” of pitting on critical gear surfaces.  UTC Fluid allows no pitting in this test.  It also provides superior protection of spiral bevel and sun gears in the John Deere Spiral Bevel/Final Drive Gear Wear Test.  Brake chatter can mean greater difficulty in breaking and premature failure.  UTC Fluid suppresses chatter without robbing brakes of needed capacity.  Stopping distances are reduced by as much as 20%.  When a tractor PTO-driven implement hits any large object in a field, the PTO should stall quickly enough to prevent the clutches from slipping and burning up.  The test for PTO performance requires less than a 3 second stall time.  UTC Fluid  provides a stall time of less than 1 second which reduces clutch wear and prolongs life.

Powershift Transmission Performance:  As a multipurpose power transmission fluid, UTC Fluid exceeds requirements for powershift transmissions and industrial torque converters in off-highway equipment. In addition, based on Caterpillar TO-2 friction test results, it exceeds the requirements for use in Caterpillar Powershift transmissions.

Industrial Hydraulic Pump Performance:   Primrose Plus UTC Fluid can also be used in industrial and mobile as well as agricultural equipment hydraulic systems.  It meets and exceeds the requirements of all major hydraulic pump manufacturers.  This remarkable product works exceptionally well in all temperatures for better startups and hydraulic response.  It shows excellent anti-corrosion characteristics even in the presence of water and guards against hardening and shrinking or overswelling of seals.  Exceptional anti-wear characteristics result in extended pump life and allow consistent hydraulic performance.

Uses: Primrose Plus Universal Torque Fluid is recommended for the majority of equipment (agricultural, construction, industrial or mobile) requiring a hydraulic/transmission fluid. For John Deere industrial equipment and agricultural combines which require a hydrostatic drive fluid meeting only the J21A specification, Grade 10 is specifically recommended.  UTC Fluid Grade 10 with its lower viscosity is required for superior low-temperature performance.   UTC is recommended for John Deere Hydrostatic Drive components in agricultural equipment other than combines.  Grade 30 is recommended for temperatures down to +5° F where Grade 10 may be used at temperatures as low as -22° F.
