Coolant conditioner?

I just bought a Ford 7700 for a haying tractor. It has 5,700 hours on it and looks to be very well-maintained. I know this engine is subject to cavitation.
What is your go-to coolant conditioner? I'm guessing my local Ford/New Holland dealer has something on the shelf, but my guess is it's probably the same stuff I can get cheaper elsewhere because it doesn't say New Holland on the label.
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Any heavy-duty diesel rated coolant will do, and you don't need to add conditioner. The conditioner was sold back when FNH first realized what was causing the problem.

An example is linked below. Once you put it in you'll never have to change it again.
Fleetguard Complete
 
I think it s FW15a now the stuff CNH sells. Fleetguard has DCA4 additive which I suspect is the same as the FW15a that CNH has.

Our 8700 since new has just had green antifreeze in it. Has close to 13000 hours on it. Knock on wood. We do have very hard water here when we mix our own antifreeze. Not sure that helps.
