First, let me apologize for not being able to articulate this very well. I have a BX-25, and it has been great the past year. The backhoe has really come in handy. Last weekend I purchased a 5ft rear scraper blade for the driveway. I installed the three point hitch after taking the backhoe off, and then proceeded to attach the rear blade. So far, so good. I started to work on the driveway, and was getting the hang of easing the blade up and making fine adjustment. After about 30 - 40 minutes, whenever I would slowly raise the rear blade, the hydraulics would make a load squeaking noise, like a loose belt on a car. If I did not "ease it up", but instead just did it quickly, then no problem. I also noticed that if I gave it more RPMs, no problem. Then it went away, but came back later for a little while longer. The FEL did not make the noise, and I have not put the backhoe back on to see if it makes the noise.
Any idea, or terminology I should be using instead, is greatly appreciated.
