The hydraulics being a little nosier after use is the fan turning on I believe, Mine does it after mowing I let it run while I empty the bagger, it cools off and the fan shuts off. Your engine sounds just like mine, I think your being paranoid.
PROBLEM HELP! 2018 GC1720 only 6 hours and developed a strong vibration

If the vibration you feel is more like a cavitation, make sure that there is hydro fluid visible in the sight glass on the rear diff. It is hard to see, but the fluid is just slightly off clear and can be seen on the white sight glass.

The air intake is what is actually moving the most in that video and it isn't rigidly attached. Watch it compared to the the belt pulley under it......

Really good advice in the last sentence. Cheap and easy to do unless the dealer is a long way away.

The OP should ask the dealer for some names of others with the same tractor. Go look at them and see how other's tractors are for comparison.

Where are you ? There has to be similar machines somewhere within a reasonable drive to go listen to. This is so subjective you really need a couple of other machines to calibrate your judgement with. At the same time, SOUND is a very important, often profound indicator of "something ain't right" and I certainly understand sticking to your guns until this gets clarified. If you bought it brand new (seems you did) then the dealer should be willing to do a drive by and listen to it for you (as opposed to hauling it anywhere.) Also, enlist a friend or too with small tractor experience and have them listen.
Your air intake in the video shakes EXACTLY the same as mine on a Kubota BX2200. I eventually added a generic "full of holes metal strap" bracket lined with an old bike inner tube to try and quiet the shaking of the air filter assembly.
