can I use hydraulic fluid (ISO32) instead of ATF on Bennett trim tabs?

While you are on your high horse would you care to tell me where I said that? I just expressed an opinion that being a ram operated device I'd expect to have seen hydraulic oil. Not a statement of fact! Nor for that matter can I see the need for the added detergents etc, the rams are not going to be operating in an environment to making oil sludge. ATF has specific friction properties to operate clutch while still lubricating moving parts. The RAMs nor pump has need of these. It has low viscosity and operates at lower temps and pressures to hydraulic oil which is purer, has no additives and operates at higher temps and pressures. That and that alone was the rationale behind my presumption. Go wave your flag somewhere else, or at least bring some useful comment to the discussion

OK, ignore the manufacturer's spec if you want. Waiting for your next thread - "where can I get new seals for....."

And rams as these have swollen and seized
