Default How many of you guys use Tractor Supply hydro fluid in your cubs.

I know all the good about Hytran but, it's expensive and I can't get it around here. Any horror stories about the TS brand?

Thanks.

Just make sure it cross references to Hy Tran on the label.

I have used that brand hydro oil as well as Napa brand hydro oil for the better part of 30yrs with no issues what so ever.

I use it in my 2182 but I change the oil and filter every season and I have drilled oil return holes in the bottom of my case allowing the oil in the axle tubes to drain. Keep in mind that it will not encapsulate water like the Case Hy-Tran will so if you are one of those that doesn’t change it out on a regular basis it may not be the wise thing to do. I have also used the Wally Worlds stuff with no problems. That said I suggest that you use what Cub recommends if possible.

That's the exact same stuff that I use and it carries the HyTran certification right on the bottle...

I buy it at Rural King, which is a slight bit less expensive, if you have one around.

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.
