I have a new DK40SE. After 30 minute of use the tractor started generating a very loud squeal when moving in reverse. The squeal sound like a brake sticking. The engine was running at the recommend RPM for HST if not higher. The HST was in low range. I was using a 6' angle blade to grade a driveway. Once the tractor was moving in reverse the sound would start. When I hit the brakes the sound might stop or might not, but the minute I hit the forward petal it would stop. I'm sure the dealer will fix it, but I'm wonder what the cause is.
