Is hy-trans the same as hydro oil?

ok, I might get some flak on this but I run 15w-40 in all my equipment and tractors, never had a single issue what so ever, its also amsoil which helps dissipate heat which these kohler make a lot of. I have it in my 682,123,122, and soon to be in my 1450 when I decide to, plus in the bigger tractors and equipment. as far as hydros and gear drives yes hy tran is the best choice

For the past several years I have been using Cub Cadet Low Ash 30WT and Kohler 30WT without any problems in my K301.

This year picked up a 782 with a KT17 II which has Shell Rotella 15W40 in it. Ran fine and did not burn any oil. I recently changed the oil, added a oil filter and put in Amsoil SAE 10w-30/30WT 4 cycle oil. This oil is marketed to be a synthetic straight 30WT oil that has the viscosity of a 10w30 oil when cold.

Between the hot summer temps and my hilly yard I wanted to protect the KT17 as best I could. So far so good.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
