Well, off the top of my head, hooo-weee!!! Chigga,
Chigga!!!! is probably a bad sound. Hmm, grumble grumble is
probably OK, and Ahumma Ahumma is probably closer to
normal. Depending if you have a drawl.

Just took delivery of my first ever lawn tractor with a
hydrostatic
transmission. Not being a Lexus I don't expect silence,
that said when
engaging forward or reverse it's not exactly quiet either.

Curious to learn from others what "normal sounds" to expect.
I'm
purposely not including the sounds I'm hearing so I can
instead compare
users descriptions to the sounds generated. Hopefully with
your inputs
I'll have an idea of what is normal and what should be of
concern.
