Me personally bought 3 qts of Lucas SXS 5w-50 synthetic oil. 5w-50 is very tough to find, but I found this oil at a O'Rileys Auto near me. I also attached the Tuff Torq oil spec data sheet. Hope this helps.
I'm more inclined to use what the transmission manufacturer recommends, not Cub Cadet. However, if it was a new machine like yours, I'd go by what Cub recommends while it has warranty. If you use a different oil than what Cub says, you may get denied a warranty claim if one should arise within the period....
