rtv x1140 power steering question

[steve-in-ga]

I have a new to me x1140. As I drive it and the hydraulic oil warms up, I start hearing a sucking sound (fluid flowing) from the power steering controller under the steering wheel when turning the steering wheel. there is no sound when the wheel isn't turning. the oil in the tank under the front passenger seat is full. I'm thinking this is normal but wanted to ask others since I've never owned a kabota utv before.

Ours does that. Buddy of mine bought his the same day I did and his does it. We never worry about it.

Mine too, but mostly only when loaded with the weight of the plow on. But empty it will do it if you turn the wheel fast.

I wondered this too when I bought my x1140. Figured it was normal. Glad to hear others are the same.
