4110 has a pto whine

[coffeeman]

Hi all

Can anyone guess if this sounds ok.

When cruising along with rotary cutter running I hear a whine in pto. About 1/2 speed not much load hit a bump and err..err..err...err...err. Sounds like an old manual trans pickup as it lobs over a hill and sort of coasting on level. When I shut pto off it quits, so I guess it's pto. I can't remember if this is normal as of last year. I can't find tractor manual to check if I missed some oil check point. I'll have to look for it as they are expensive.

Cheers...Coffeeman

Check your Hyd. fluid level first before you use it again.
Have you changed it since it was new?

Coffeeman,

I second the hydraulic fluid level check (rear end).

My 3510 (same tractor, smaller motor) just started the same thing. When PTO all the way up, some whine, especially when unlevel.

I checked the fluid, it is low. Not out, and whine goes away when lowered slightly and top tilt cylinder closed.

It just happened and I checked the fluid (while running) and parked it. I'll put fluid in it as soon as I get the chance.

Sort of like the whine power steering makes when low....

I changed all the oils at 60 hours. (I'm pretty sure I got all of them.) Where do you check the fluid? There is a dipstick on the rear left axel. Darn, I gotta find that owners manual.

Hi there tractorErnie

Hydraulic oil is right on full. The fluid is clean as a whistle. I changed the filter when I changed the oil. Seems like manual lists only 3 places to check oil; engine and transmission (daily) and front 4WD front axel(100 hr). I guess I'll just run it.

Coffeeman,

One other possibility I know of...

The 3pt hitch is live and always puts up pressure when raised. I've also noticed that due to the awkward position of the hydraulic lever, the "full up" position is behind the comfortable driver's reach.

Due to this, I often find myself not having it 100% up, maybe 90%. When trailering or have to be sure of the clearance of the 3pt implement, I push the lever up and hold it a second or so a little past where it will stay on its own. The arms don't lift any more, but I can hear a momentary whine from the relief kicking in.

Try moving your up/down lever just a tad below full up position. Perhaps it could be slightly out of adjustment?

BTW, I added a little fluid to mine and no more whine....

If you need to add fluid, it is the knurled knob just above and to the right of the rear end dipstick. Mine has a gob of orange paint on it.

Good luck.
