it will be in your operators manual, or sometimes they are listed on the side panel. if not, call the dealer, they will ask what temperature range you are operating in and give you the spec. you can then cross reference it as cheap as you want to go. I try to get the best oil i can continually afford, its the cheapest insurance.

You are right.
Hydraulic oil specification depend on climate zone.

I looked up the kansas climate before posting and isovg46 looks like the best one or maybe the isovg32s if there are prolonged periods below freezing in winter
