Hi Everyone. Would love for you to take a crack at diagnosing this noise for me? It's a whistle or whine and it happens near the end of the video. It happens when I start the machine and it'll happen intermittently as I operate. I assume it's hydraulic related. Thanks in advance for the help!

Sounds like an Alternator or fan belt, not there but have seen belts before that squeeled the same, once replaced quiet. Micro belts need to have pulleys cleaned with a pick or wire brush as I have seen packed with dirt some times. Or could be a tensioner bearing starting to squeel.
Will have to start somewhere. Are pulleys lined up straight, tensioner working okay.

- Big trucks is what I know. HAZMAT is what I tow.
It does sound like the belt driven accessories.
Spray water on the belt when the noise is occurring and see if changes.
