From what I have been told. The PTO should spin silently if nothing is hooked up. How your tractor sounds when the PTO is off, is how it should sound when your PTO is on (when nothing is hooked up of course).

Congrats on your new XG3025. At 65 hrs. the owner should have done the 50 hr. service. Check all fluid levels before using. PTO should run quietly. I cannot turn my PTO shaft by hand when off and it runs quiet when engaged.

I cannot turn my pot shaft by hand either. Wish they would make them so you could, it would make hooking up some implements a lot easier.
I would get that checked out if it were mine.

I checked on mine today, I cannot turn the pto shaft by hand, you can actually "feel" the gear mesh. With the tractor running, at about 1700 rpm, The PTO does have a "gear sound" when engaged and running. (Don't know how else to describe it). Doesn't sound bad, but you can definitely tell it is turning. Mine is a gear / shuttle shift, don't know it the HST model would sound different.
I'm curious about what you paid for such a low hour machine, what year? HST or gear?

the man told me since this machine has set a while it could possibly have some corrosion built up,,i dont know about that,,the hydraulic oil is very clean,,he said tojust run the stew out of it and it could clear up,,if it brakes its still under warranty and they will fix it,,one good thing the warranty goes with the tractor, regardlesss of who owns it

According to the dealer this pto is not made to turn freely,,has an internal overun clutch,,the pto is supposed to quit turning in less than a minute even with bushhog attached,,most pto's turn forever when it is disengaged

What year is the tractor?
Gear driven or Hydro (peddle for forward/back or do you have a clutch with a lever forward/back)?
Can you move the PTO up and down side-to-side (turn off engine, grab the PTO shaft without anything connected to it. Pull straight up, push straight down. Does it move?
Why was the original owner selling it with such low hours?
Was the 50hr service preformed?
