Your post is a little light on details but generally speaking hydrostats whine when working hard, are trying to go up the hill in high range and at the same speed you were doing on flat land?
Best of luck. ....

I agree with Murf on the whining noise. It seems all tractors with hydrostatic transmissions make the noise with they are in a stress situation....working and up hill climbing. I've own John Deere 2 series and they whine, and so are the ones in the larger lawn tractors. The 2005 Cub cadet 6384 scares the you know what out of me on it's whining, and I'm searching for the reason(s) why it does it. All the fluids are at peak level and still knowing showing what causes the whine. Probably never know...that is until it stops and so does the tractor. ....

I was told by a factory CAT tech the whining under load is the pressure relief valve cycling (open / close / open / close) at extremely fast speed against high system pressures when the machine is under heavy load.
It's much the same sound as a FEL makes if you dead head the hydraulics, like holding the joystick in the curl up position after the cylinder is fully retracted so I suspect that is the cause of the noise.
BTW, while I do NOT approve of the method, the tech advised that you can dramatically speed up the heating of the hyd. fluid on cold days by rising the idle a little and holding the hydraulics against the relief valve, like as above using curl up. The constant load and restriction of the valve causes a lot of friction which in turn creates heat.
I'll stick with an leectric preheater.
Best of luck. ....

If this site supports it. You might want to post a video of it as every tractor owners interpretation could be different as to what normal sounds are ....
