One reservoir for the hydraulics and drive system. It's setup just like every other SCUT I've seen.

I'm thinking something got lost in translation or that API GL-4 (gear lube spec) on the transmission fluid line in the book is a typo.
The RK 37 shows the same spec. I have been thinking about buying one and that spec confused me. I think I'm going to talk to Rural King about it.

Like @ptsg suggested above, I confirmed with my TYM dealer. They use universal tractor hydraulic fluid/oil. Anything compatible with wet clutches, brakes, hydrostatic drives and hydraulics. Not that it's something that has to be touched all that often beyond the recommended first 50hr service, but it's nice to not have to use $$$ OEM fluids.

I like the coolant recommendation too: "Antifreeze".

I'm still undecided on the engine oil/filter for the Yanmar 3TNM. I will run a diesel spec'd oil for sure, but 5w30 or 10w30 like the chart leads to? I dunno.. They're supposedly shipped with 10w30 in them.

Most manufacturers these days will have a dual spec for coolant antifreeze. Changes every 6-10 years on their specially-formulated OEM coolant, or every 2 years with generic.
