Wheel bearing noise?

[mister logan]

I have a L2900 4WD WITH 3PT Hitch forks and use it to move pallets of wood pellets to my storage shed behind my cabin. While driving with this maximum load I hear a popping kind of sound from my left wheel and I am guessing it is coming from a wheel bearing? It only makes these sounds while packing the pellets and sounds normal otherwise. Other than tearing it apart to inspect it is there a way to confirm or disapprove that it is a bearing?

Check your wheel center plate to rim bolts and center plate to axle bolts. I suspect they are loose.
