I have a cs2220hst when putting pto to rear hear a grinding noise. Rear pto works when lever is in mid and rear position. Anyone else have that happen?
 
Does the noise sound like gears trying to mesh?
I don't have your tractor but do occasionally get a grinding. To mitigate:
Reduce engine speed to idle.
Make sure the clutch is fully depressed. Maybe wait a few seconds.
Engage the PTO. The grinding should be gone or almost gone.

You may need a minor clutch adjustment. How far can you push in the clutch pedal before you start to feel resistance? Can't speak specifically for your tractor but if it's more than about 1/2", you may have too much play. When that happens, when you fully depress the clutch pedal, the clutch isn't fully disengaged internally.
Also, is there any play in the cable/linkage from the PTO engagement knob?
