Just noticed a slight whining noise coming from the hydraulic pump on my Kubota b7800 at days first cold start. The noise can't be heard at idle, but you can start to hear it after bumping up the throttle a bit and gets a little louder the higher the rpms. While I am moving the loader functions, the noise stops. When I stop moving the loader, the noise is back. It seems to go away once the fluid warms up after about 5 minutes or so. Loader and hydrostat transmission seems to work fine throughout. I did just change both the hydraulic and hydrostat filters. NAPA/WIX filters and Kubota super udt2 fluid. I know the filters are cross referenced right. The noise is just slight and hydraulics are still working fine. What could be the cause of this noise so I can possibly narrow this issue down or maybe its nothing to be too worried about??? Tractor has 1600 hours on it.
