Kubota M4700 squeal

[nathan arizona]

I've got a Kubota M4700 that has developed a terrible squeal. Sitting on the driver's seat, I thought it was coming from the left front wheel, but I had a guy over yesterday and after we got it off the ground and spun it, it didn't seem like it was coming from there. So while I drove he walked beside and we now think it's coming from the rear. Could something be going on with the brake? Anybody ever have anything like this? It only squeals when moving and not on every revolution of the wheel - forward and reverse, speed doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks for any advice. This now seems like it's going to be more expensive than I was planning for.

Pull it apart. They are known for sticking brakes.

Call the guy you bought it from... Get the history. Save money.

Make sure if hydraulic oil has been put in it that it was for wet brakes. Cheap hydraulic oil will cause the brakes to come a part and be a very expensive fix to get all the particles out. When buying a used tractor that is a big concern that somebody went cheap.
