At the end of my mowing session yesterday, I dropped the tractor to idle (PTO disengaged) and noticed that my hydro was making a bit of a crackling sound. Seemed to be coming from the rear. Sounded more like hydraulic snapping than mechanical. The tractor seemed hot (toward the rear - lifter arms were hot to the touch), but it was hot yesterday, and I do use the rear PTO for the bagger. I shut her down and checked my UDT level. It was ok.
Perhaps I'm just noticing something that was always there. I was using earplugs yesterday, so maybe my hearing was just a little better after mowing that it usually is...?
Any ideas?
