3015H Grinding noise?

[branson3015]

I have a 3015 and was wondering if anyone else has experienced a grinding type sound when taking off in high (C) range. This is not the gear whine but a deeper, short lived uhhhh sound that occurs on clutch release. Always in C range, sometimes in B range with a load and never in A range. Sorta like a bearing or bushing that has play maybe? I am told itsｴ a common sound, maybe due to differential lock, but feel the need to ask around a bit. Thanks!

The diff lock should not make any noise when you don't have your foot on the pedal. If you try to engage it when one wheel is slipping it can make noise as it's engaging. (BTW you're not supposed to do that).

Do you have a 3015R or 3015H? H= Hydrostatic transmission. R= Gear drive.

With the H model, you don't have a clutch, nor a clutch pedal.

Sorry. Mistype. It is an è¿*? auto fill plugged in the h on google eatlier guess I transposed it.

I have no idea what痴 up with the symbols. The tractor is an R.

Do you still get the noise coming off the clutch at idle or lower RPM setting? Is the noise after your foot off the clutch pedal or as you are releasing?

It occurs as I am releasing the clutch. Apparently it痴 not that common of a noise... I am told it痴 a sound common to the 15 series.

Try it at idle or just above idle and see if it is better.

I have this video of my tractor going on the road in high range. Can you tell if the noise is also on mine?

It does it maybe worse with less throttle it seems but I still hear it.
