My Iron Eagle Dixie Chopper is really loud. The noise is not from the engine and I had my belts blades and pullys checked at the dealer this past summer. Any idea what the noise is? I know this is not information but any idea would be appriciated.

Is the noise all the time?
Does it change when in motion or with the pto engaged ?

Take the deck belt off and see if the noise is gone.
If still there then take the drive belt off.

Pully bearings can go in a matter of minutes so every thing is suspect till proven otherwise.
First candidate is stuff tangled up around the spindles.
Next is a broken or twisted belt, they can really make a racket.
next is the bearings in all of the pulleys & spindles
Followed by the blades themselves you would be amazed just how much nose a twisted blade can make.
