My 725 makes growling noise when turning. Is this a sign the Hydros are failing?

No need to worry I have had three Grasshoppers and each had the hydro whine you describe. Of which my 2002, 725 is the noisiest of them all but also has the most power and torque to the hydro's of the three. Mine has 450 hours and has always made the whine especially when pulling or aggressively pushing the control sticks forward. Also I may add that if you move around at lower RPM it is worse than at full throttle. It is always a good thing to change the hydro fluid at recommended intervals.
