Glad it all work out for you, just a bit of WD40 can work wonders.

I just got my CK 30HST back from the dealer and they changed out the hydro/trans fluid with what they call Kioti oil? I had Mobil hydraul extra in it which is supose to be synthetic. The mechanic said not to use synthetic as i would not like it in the winter? it would take forever ot get it going.This doesn't make sense.

Someone's blowing smoke up your chute on the synthetic being more difficult to start in winter. It would flow more easily due to molecular structure. Kioti doesn't make oil- they recommend like all motor manufacturers, a range of oils/viscosity, etc. and various brands.
What I said earlier about filing the hydraulic filters prior to install got caught up in my equipment database overflow. I was referring to what to do when filling the filters on my Scag mower - sorry for any confusion, mea culpa
weeeell,took the dog out today to give it a bath (pressure wash it) and pulling it out of the shop the hydro pedal was sticking in forward,release the pedal and it SLOWLY came to a stop...so, guess Im back to square one on this one.
Could it be the mobil hydraul? jeesh, would hate to dump $130 down the tube the drain..

Still guessing it may be in your petal and/or linkage. Perhaps give it a good cleaning and make sure nothing is bent, then a good lube job.

Was it still jerky or just pedal sticky in forward. If only slow to return to neutral, maybe your center cylinder is dragging or weak spring.

I would suggest lubricating the pedal and linkages with something better than WD40, especially if it worked good for a short period. I don't find that WD has much staying ability. I had issues getting my CK30 in/out of 4wd, I used Fluid Film on the pedal and linkage and it has been working fine for over a year. Although it was a little stiff last time I tried it so it is time to spray it again. I think a good spray Lithium grease would be even better.

Fluid Film is a Lanolin based product. It seems the op needs to determine if the problem is lubrication based or a mechanical mechanism issue, or both. Once determined then solutions arise.

Mine has been doing this on and off for the past year and a half. Mine only freezes in position if the HST is under load ie..starting up a fairly steep grade or just starting off, driving the loader into a pile of material, etc. If the load comes off the HST the pedal will release as per normal. Someone on here and if memory serves me correctly (Michigan Iron) mentioned something about the neutral cartridges sticking. I have just never got around to pulling them out to see if they are sticking, dirty or whatever. Also someone else on this site had a mechanism of some type replaced by the dealer for the same problem. I think I may persue this before my warranty runs out next spring.
