TRANSMISSION

The Cub Cadet 7304 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward-reverse options and a high-low range, enhancing ease of operation for various tasks. Notably, the oil capacity of 26 quarts necessitates regular maintenance, with an oil change required every 200 hours to ensure optimal performance and longevity. A potential drawback is that shifting between high and low ranges requires the tractor to be stationary, possibly impacting efficiency during frequent adjustments.
