I didn't get much of a response, so I am going to try again. I am describing the PTP sound without an implement attached. I set the RPM to the lowest possible setting (around 1100 RPM). When I engage the rear PTO I get a loud continuous vibration or rattle seemingly coming from inside the trans-axle (if that is the correct nomenclature). The tractor has 90 hours, and I had not previously engaged the rear PTO. I do not own a three point implement at present, but buying a mower soon. The noise dissipates as the RPM is increased, and disappears somewhere around 2500 engine RPM. I have seen posts suggesting low RPM gear "slap" is to blame. If I have a problem, I would like to do something about it while the drive train warranty is still in force. Any thoughts?
