420 front end wheezing

I'm getting the noise on 2 brand-new machines
Bought 2 2013 Ranchers from the dealer, mid-June. (non-AT/ESP, non-PS)
One of them made the squeak/squeal/wheeze noise immediately, the other started after a couple weeks.
Dealer techs say it's a dry seal on the diff for the drive shaft and that i should 'just keep it lubed'.
Seems to me that's something i shouldn't really have to do on brand-new machines, but it does stop the noise for a couple hours when i do.
I'm going up through 60-70 hours now, just did the recommended 1st oil change and the problem persists.
I took the 2nd machine back for another unrelated noise - a sort of uneven tick in the motor that seems to become more pronounced after running for a while.
They didn't think either of the issues were a problem, but did recommend that I bring it back for a closer look later in the season, when their service schedule slows down.
