HST Whine

[Gizmo2]

Spent 3 hours yesterday moving dirt. Does the whine in a HST ever go away or get less annoying?

Could you fill out your profile so we have a clue what tractor you are talking about?

I know the whine on the 2520 doesn't go away thats just hydro whine.
4720 I used a month ago also had the hydro whine as well.
Tractors are not meant to be super quite.

Sorry!

It should wine less in low range. Also remember the forward pedal is not like a gas pedal. Easy on the pedal is like low gear and pedal to the metal is high gear. JC

A while back someone posted that they were running synthetic hydraulic in there tractor, and it seemed to quite it down some..

My 2320 JD has 130 hours on it and it still whines a lot. From what I have read, it is the nature of the beast. The comment about synthetic transmission oil is interesting. I know my 2320 tractor makes more noise in winter cold than the summer warm. Maybe the thinner synthetic oil will be quieter.

Must be the nature of the beast. Run the engine faster and the noise will drown out the hydro. Good pair of muffs works also.

Dealer told me to run the Low Viscosity Hy-Gard (J20D) transmission oil year-round. Don't know what is in it now but after the 50 hours it will be the Low Viscosity Hy-Gard (J20D) transmission oil.

My 2305's OM states that JD ships the tractor with J20C Hy-Gard yet the Servicing part states to use J20D Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard. I'm a bit confused; BTW I live in the DEEP South where it is much more HOT and HUMID. Seems to me that J20C Hy-Gard would be preferred down here. Comments, suggestions??

I Like The Sound of A Whining Hydro... I Think it's a pretty cool sound to me...

On my old New Holland TC33D it whined horribly in the winter. I switched to Amsoil and it went totally away. It sold me on synthetic oil. My dealer didn't believe me and came up to hear it. Maybe that is why he is my ex dealer

When the time comes for my 3720 to be changed and new filters I will going to Amsoil hydro fluid.

"Seems to me that J20C Hy-Gard would be preferred down here. Comments, suggestions??"

I'm in Missouri and have decided to go with the regular hy-gard in the 2520. I'm thinking thicker must be better, particularly since most of my hours are put on in above-freezing temps. The 2520 manual says OK to use either one.

Say, could I please have some cheese to go with my hydro whine?

At my dealer today to swap out a couple of gallons of Hy-Gard (J20C) for the decaff, Lo-Vis Hy-Gard (J20D).

Sales guy asked me if I used Lo-Vis year around and the mechanic overhead the conversation and said that in AK it's best to use the Lo-Vis 'cause we never get real warm, humid conditions at all.

If your manual says that either/or may be used and you live in an area that is above freezing for most all the year and during the warmest time; WAAYY above freezing -- the caffinated stuff is the way to go.
