In simple terms it is like an automatic transmission in a car. Your riding mowers will either have a hydrostatic or a (5, 6 or 7 etc..) speed transmission. As it sounds the 5, 6,or 7 speeds are like manual transmissions on cars.

How do you check fluid in hydrostatic transmission in cub cadet riding mower?

To check the fluid in a hydrostatic transmission on a Cub Cadet riding mower, first, ensure the mower is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the transmission dipstick or fill plug, usually found near the rear of the mower. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then check the fluid level against the marked indicators. If the fluid is low, add the recommended hydrostatic transmission fluid until it reaches the proper level.
