I have a 2006 CK30. I need to change fluids. Not sure from the manual as written, but from inspection is the Hydraulic fluid and filter the same as the transmission? I believe it is for the HST model, is that the case for gear as well? Also can I get the Universal Hydraulic fluid from Tractor supply?
Thanks,

Mark

It's the same. With your tractor being a gear and not hst, you should only have one filter for the hydro fluid. There is an extra dedicated filter for the hst transmission models which still uses the same hydraulic fluid from the common sump. You would still use hydraulic fluid for the transmission which also lubricates the differential and brakes and this same fluid, from the common sump, also works your hydraulic pump for the 3pt lift and front end loader if you have one. That one filter keeps your hydraulic fluid "clean" for everything. Some members here do use UTF, universal transmission fluid, from Tractor Supply and say it works well. In my CK30hst, I have been using Shell brand hydraulic oil. As long as the oil meets specs, the brand is up to the user. If you drain, don't forget the drain plugs on each side of the rear axle. These should be shown in your manual and you'll need 7 gallons to fill.

I think you need to have your FEL all the way down and relaxed to get as much fluid out as possible.

Thanks, I suspected as much but it just wasn't clear. Will get some UTF this week and change it.
