Better parking brake warning needed.

[scootr]

A better parking brake warning is needed. The MX52 will walk away with the parking brakes on without braking a sweat. Happened twice now...
I'm thinking about adding a big flashing light. The tiny indicator in the cluster is nearly useless.
I'm wondering if anyone has made an improvement in this area.

I have driven my mahindra a number of times with it on, My buddys LS has a beeper when its on.

the 5145 has a beeper but it is hard to hear with the engine running.

How does the parking brake work on yours? On my Kioti it's just a toothed cam that holds the brake pedals down. Maybe hook up a bright light off the wire to the brake lights?

My vermeer honks the horn if you try drive with the brake on, definitely gets your attention.

My 2009 Kubota M6040 had NO warning feature. I simply NEVER use the parking break. Better to use the grounded grapple and rear blade.

Kubatuba is really lax in that. I added a red idiot light to both mine with a reed switch on the brake linkage.

I've been looking for a simple solution - I think that's it. Thank you !!

I actually added 2 reed switches in parallel because I have split brakes.
