have you changed the hyd oil since you got it?
how many hours have you used it?
if it's not new / just serviced I'd change and put in something I'm familair with / can top off with.. like a UTF fluid inthe hyds.
as for the rear and tranny.. check if it wants utf or gear oil.. many like gear oil.
if you don't want to change the oil, and need to top the hyd resv off.. hard to go wrong with utf fluid... should be ok to top off a sump, even if it had a plain hyd oil in it..

Is this a Jinma or Foton tractor re-branded? Does it share a common sump with the gear box for the hydraulics or does it have seperate oil sumps for the gear boxes and hydraulics?
If it has a seperate oil sump for the hydraulics I would use AW32 hydraulic oil. To be sure I would google your tractor type and find a dealer selling them to get a full list of what fluids should be used.

imho, UTF fluids are a higher quality oil than a plain AW/ISO hyd oil. and utf should match aw32 viscosity specs pretty closely..
that's just my opinion though..
