BX2200 and hydraulic leaks

[kaz]

Hello,
I posted earlier about my new tractor leaking some sort of fluid. The dealer came and picked up the tractor tonight. He checked the hydraulic fluid level and said it was fine. In addition to this leak, I was hearing a whine coming from the rear end. Is this normal from the hydrostatic transmission or could it be something else? Also the dealer said he wants to pressure wash the engine and entire tractor to find the leak. Does that hurt? The tractor has 3.5 hours and isn't even dirty. I'm afraid all that high pressure water will do more harm than good. Also it's raining like mad here and he left it outside. I'm new to tractor ownership so that last comment may make some of you laugh, but I'm just worried about my "investment." Am i worrying too much or is my Kubota built for the abuse that the dealer will do tomorrow? Thanks again to all of you who deal with my questions. I'll learn by watching and listening to you experienced Kubota owners.

Only own the original orange, Allis Chalmers, so I won't speculate on the whine. Sitting outside will be good for it, not good to let our kids get too spooiled ya know. On the pressure washing, they'll know what to hit and what to stay away from, so I doubt there will be any ill effects. Now if they wanted to steam clean it, that's another story...

Kaz; Most hydrostatic tractors have a whine to them. As all of my personal tractors have been hydros, I don't notice it, but friends who hear my BX often comment on the noise.
I know what you mean about the tractor being outside. The only time mine has been outside is when it has been at the dealership to get the FEL put on /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I would not woory about the pressure washing. If the dealer hurts anything, it will be his responsibility.
