Price of Hy-Tran
Not here to debate whether you should or should not use Hy-Tran. My position has always been that it is a superior oil blend when compared to cheap alternatives, and that is still my position. However, Case-IH (New Holland) has lost their mind, competitive edge, or something. Yesterday I called an "IH" dealer I have never dealt with before (they are closing up fast here in the Southeast) they wanted $105 for a 5 gallon bucket. Called a dealer that recently lost his contract, they wanted $98. Now I don't mind paying $75 or so because that's what I paid for the last couple of buckets I bought, even though it has been 2 years (Uh, hello---gas and diesel fuel hasn't gone up 30%). So I called up my Deere dealer to check on price. The last bucket I got from him was in the mid $70's in early summer. He said let me check, think the price came DOWN They are currently around $65 for a bucket of Hy-Gard--I grabbed 2 yesterday afternoon.
For those wondering, no I don't use that much oil in Cadets, its for farm tractors. I have substituted Deere oil in IH lawnmowers before and to date haven't seen an issue (Sunstrand pumps in both). Likewise we have gone back and forth putting different color oils in a machine should we run out of OEM fluid---you are always just back-to-back blown hydraulic lines away from depleting your stock. On a side note, I like the IH Low-Ash engine oil. Ordered 2 cases yesterday from a Cadet dealer, he quoted me $7qt in case qty, low shipping costs as he would get on a stock order. Beats the heck out of $9 the tractor dealership wanted. https://www.cubcadet.com/wcpics/CubC...3029_large.jpg Anyway, just tossing this out there, not trying to resurrect the hydraulic oil debate again. Got the shop warming up and 2 IH Cadets inside needing "attention".

When my Hy-Tran 5 gallon bucket is empty I take it back to my local Case Ih dealer to be filled. I don't remember what is cost. I save a few $$$$ bringing my 5 gallon bucket back in. It's been a few years since I filled it. I wouldn't be afraid to use Deere version Hydraulic oil in my hydraulic system.
I've been using Kohler brand engine oil in my old K series Kohlers and Briggs brand oil in my Briggs and Stratton engines. The Kohler and Briggs oil is around $4 to $5 a quart at my local Rural King farm store. Disclaimer: It's your Cub Cadet....use what oil you want to use.

I think last time just recently I got a gallon of Hy-Tran the cost was around 23-26 bucks. Its kind of expensive, consider two gallons and a 15 dollar pump filter for these garden tractors and its easy to see how expensive they can be to resurrect from the dead.
I always used the Cub Cadet engine oil too, but the Kohler is like 5.39 a quart, so I use that.

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.
