Hello,
I was clearing 8-10 inches off the drive yesterday with my Kioti NX and everything was running nicely. After about an hour out in the cold (approx 5 degrees) I would hear some loud squeaking type noises coming from either the steering column or maybe the front axle area? It was loud engough to be heard over the engine and through my hat and hood. It was only occasionally and seemed to be mostly when doing tight turns or turning steering wheel quickly. I was in 4wheel drive and engine temps were fully warmed up and normal. I'm guessing it was just the extreme cold temps affecting something. Is there anything additional I need to check maintenance-wise for cold weather operation? Tractor has 125 hours on it.
