Beeper for Parking Brake??

[howlin_wolf]

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I think a better option would be if you could attach the alarm to the shuttle lever, so when you put it in F/R with the brake on it would beep. I don't know if thats possible though. )</font>

Thats the way our Deere 510 Hoe where I used to work did it. The park brake was just an electronic switch in the cab. Now this was a constuction backhoe, not a farm tractor but you could leave it run with the park brakes on all day with no noise, but as soon as you shifted to forward or reverse, all kind of lights came on and beeping started. I never looked to see how it was wired.

Andy, actually the parking brake light does come on every time I get on the brake. I like BXRICK's idea to use the brake warning light is series with the neutral saftey switch. Now if I can just figure out how to wire it. Funny thing is that I have probably driven 100 different tractors, loaders, skidsteers and all kinds of other equipment and never had a problem remembering to release the parking brake until now. Dont know what the deal is with this particular tractor. Thanks everyone--Bhh

If this is a gear machine maybe mount a switch on the clutch pedal in series with the park brake switch so if the brake is on and the clutch is depressed it will sound the buzzer???...Scozz

If you figure out how to get a beeper wired up to the parking brake and range selector netural switch I'd like to hear about it.
I've got the same problem you do. I've only had my New Holland TC30 for about a month and I can't count how many times I've been driving around needed hop off for a sec went to set the brake and found it already on. It's getting harder to set the brake and have it actually hold the tractor.

I did something similar to my Kubota BX2230. Posted it yesterday to the Kubota Owning/Operating forum. Here's the link.

Use a back up light switch like they use on cars and trucks.
