No problem here yet, but thanks for the heads up! Getting up to 725hrs. Figured things might start acting up slowly.
Hope I didn't just JINX myself! Lol!

Over the past 2-3 years I've become a lot more conscious of what I'm doing when using the tractor. I realize my senses have dulled a bit so I double check everything. Beyond the injury or death, it would be so embarrassing to get ran over by my own tractor.....So far, so good. I’ve got it to work. I just have to really push down hard on the brakes. It stays locked. From the warnings on the above posts, I’m being much more careful about lowering the bucket and using that for a brake also. For whatever reason, it seems like a lot of my tractor time is getting in and out of that seat. Hooking up chains lately, and hauling out all the downed timber from this summers wind storm. 100 big trees down.
Maybe this Kioti thread can help.
Kioti parking brake failure...has this happened to you?
Last week, I noticed that my parking brake would no longer stay in one of the 2 positions I use. The more-on position, which I use on slopes, was kaput. The other position, which I use on level ground (not that I have much) still worked. Anyway, the PB is very important, so I popped off the...www.tractorbynet.com
No. I had the same issue and it started at about 100-125 hrs. Using the Operation and Maintenance manual provided with my CT2025HST tractor, I was able to adjust brake pedal free play (2.8 inches) back to the spec (0.8-1.2 inch) and the problem was solved. The adjustment required two wrenches. One to hold the turnbuckle and one to loosen the two lock nuts. Note: One nut has right-hand threads and the other has left-hand threads. You will need to look carefully at each thread pitch to determine which way to lossen the nuts.Well I’m guessing I’m the only one that’s having trouble with the brake lock.. LOL.
