It's the same system, any quality multi-purpose tractor hydraulic/transmission fluid.

This is a tough call…. My dealer said i should stick with 90 weight gear oil instead of transmission oil. Said it will prevent seal leak better.

I never know whos more correct.

With the original post edited to be the front axle my answer will change,
for the front axle I use a synthetic multi-grade gear lube.

For the hydraulics and transmission as original request it remains a quality multi purpose fluid.

I have used Valvoline 70W90 synthetic in the front axle since the 50 hour service. Use Rotella T 15W40 in the engine and use Rotella HD tractor and transmission fluid in the tranny hydraulic system. The Rotella transmission fluid is repacked Donax TD or Spirax S4 TXM which is the Kioti recommended fluid.
