- Bobcat CT 225
I recently purchased a 2012 ct225. It's in great shape over all and has 650 hours on it. However, the hst sounds terrible. To me it sounds like there is air in the hydraulic pump, or a grinding noise. After I brought the tractor home and read through the manual I realized the previous owner had the vent on the hydraulic fill cap upside down (the gooseneck on the fill tube), would this have been a cause for my grinding noise? This is my first tractor and hst powered piece of equipment so I am unfamiliar with hst's. I have new bobcat fluid, but I'm still trying to find aftermarket filters if I can. Does anyone have any part numbers or does Kioti match up with the same transmission? If the tractor is at low rpm it doesn't sound too bad, but after some heavy use or higher rpm you can sure notice the grinding. Could this just be hst whine for this tractor, the motor sure is noisy so maybe its just the way it goes?
Thanks
