Use of Tractor Transmission/Hydraulic Oil in our Trucks

Does anyone have information or experience about the use of tractor transmission/hydraulic oil in our transmissions. I found very little in searching the subject. What I have heard is that the use of this fluid works well and helps keep transmission fluid temps down. Also, that it is designed to work well in hard high temperature situations that it gets exposed to in agriculture. Any useful info or experience would be appreciated.
