    Gurgling sound ?

    Doesnt matter if there is a drain that connects to the septic in the same room. I agree with MossRoad, as he probably suspects there is an issue with the septic. The inlet at the first baffle is clogged, or the outlet to the distribution box is clogged, or the leach field is draining too...

    Kioti DK6010 clunking

    Check the Loader Bracket mounting bolts and tighten to what ever your manual says (my little one is something like 110 ft/lbs). They tend to come loose, especially on a newer tractor.

    Front loader hydraulic question

    Front loader hydraulic question

    IMO, that line was defective. Even if you were trying to dig out a small'ish stump, it should not have burst as the hydraulics should have went into relief/bypass. While talking to them about replacement, have them look at the relief pressure setting as well.

    Mower squeal

    You're taking load off the bearings when you do that. Free spinning a bearing usually detects very bad bearings and may look ok until you throw that side load on them. And don't forget the idler bearing. There's not much else it could be if the pulleys and clutch are not slipping.

    CK2620 to CK4020 or more

    And you said you think it's at 40hp at the PTO, which is more than the 35hp the 4020 normally has, all I'm pointing out. I haven't looked up the parts, so don't know if it has the same gears and shafts as the 2620.
  170. Midniteoyl

    Mower squeal

    What are the size of the blades? Could it be the blade tips syncing and rubbing then unsyncing again? Even if the right size, a non-concentric center hole, or slop in the hole or spindle would also allow it to happen. The spindle pulley we can see doesn't look mounted normally.
  171. Midniteoyl

    CK2620 to CK4020 or more

    The 2620 has a rated PTO of about 20hp, while the 4020's is about 35hp. Assuming they are the same strength wise, you are still over powering it. As far as I know when people turn up the power on the 25/26 series, they keep it at 10hp increase or less.
