ML3 1,253 #28 Posted April 17 Of all my tractors (have no hydros as of yet) only my C105 has the left clutch & right brake. Occasionally i have forgotten to press brake pedal but luckily I didnt need to stop that sudden. I use parking brake only if I leave tractor running while parked. I set the parking brake in all my vehicles when parked every time! I've done so much towing & definitely spent plenty time on boat launch ramps so consistent use of parking brake is a habit for me. Can't say I've forgotten to release it. My Cadillac automatically releases when put into reverse or drive. It has an electronic actuation & release. I wish it just had a manual pull like my other vehicles. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,598 #33 Posted April 17 WOW, Never thought this thread would have prompted so many confessions. For years I have only used hydros with my redneck right pedal motion control where you push down to go forward and allow a spring to lift pedal to go backwards. With this foot control,, it is a must to lock the left nuetral/brake pedal down when leaving the seat otherwise the tractors go to auto reverse if running or when started up. So, I have been conditioned to lock the brake every time I leave the seat and to press the left pedal during start up. After using this gear drive, I'll probably have a few reverse collisions on the hydros. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember NOT being that/this way !!!!! I find it very interesting that all you flat land dwellers don't use the brake. Our front dooryahd is pretty much level but on most of the rest of the acreage.. I wouldn't even CONSIDER walking away from any one of my C Series without the brake set. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,856 #40 Posted April 17 Well at least it is an affordable fix. I had used my Farmall M to extricate a weekender neighbors.car let him drive it home...brakes on. She is a unique M 1944 with not usual Farmall brakes. (Wartime issues??) Had to have them redone $175 per side.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
