Has anyone used Tractor tranny lube in their Banshee? I was at Farm and Fleet the other day and I noticed that they have extreme duty tranny lube for tractors in 5 gallon buckets. I know some guys use ATF in their Banshees, but some have said they don't think it will hold up the the extreme abuse of an atv. I was reading the label on this tractor stuff and it says it is used where wet sump clutches are used and extreme temps are a problem. I figure if it can move some huge tractor around for 12 hours a day it can handle the little bit of weekend riding I do.
What makes this the ultimate deal is that it is only $25.00 for a 5 gallon bucket. Heck I could change oil every ride and still save money.

Holyman, I run 90W in mine. I would think that the tractor oil would work! It's all the same pretty much.

How often do you change yours? Is that like 90wt rearend lube or what? I was afraid to use that because I didn't think it would work right because of the clutch plates.

I am running Parts Plus High Performance 90W Gear Oil. I change it once a year, and check it every once in a while, and add to it if need be.
