Hello, first of all thanks for offering such an informative forum.
I have been a long time observer but find myself in a situation seeking an unbiased opinion or two.
I have a 2017 Kubota B2601 with a BH70 and FEL. It has 28.9 hours and seems to perform flawlessly except for an exceptionally loud hydraulic squeal when the BH bucket is curled and is under load. It's most noticed scooping heavy dirt or clay. If it's pinned against the mechanical thumb and a stump, it will not make a noise. The noise is solely from the valve body. I have a video to give a better description. It does not make the noise in any other way, shape, or form.
I have searched endlessly using keywords all across the board with no similar findings. If I missed something, my apologies. As far as warranty goes, it's been nothing but "can not duplicate concern".
To be clear, my main question is - is this Normal? This is my first tractor backhoe.
Thank you for your time.
