Parking Brake Alarm?

   / Parking Brake Alarm? #11  
Had that same issue with leaving the parking brake on. Then it occurred to me - just drive it like a car. You never put your car in gear without stepping on the brake (which kicks my parking off). I already had the muscle memory, I just needed to apply it.

I agree with the others about NOT using the parking brake. Unless I have it on a trailer or something unusual is going on, don't use it. Drop the bucket, drop the 3-point if you have anything on it, etc.

When I do have to set the brake, I try to really set it tight! It's pretty noticeable if you really hammer it down -- not as likely to drive around with it dragging like I do if it's set lightly.

You wouldn't wire the buzzer to the brake lights, but to the 'Parking Brake is ON' indicator light on the dash.

The other good option is just until your turning brakes. At least on Kubotas the parking brake only holds down the inner brake & the pin between the brakes holds the other one. I can usually figure that after the 2nd or 3rd circle the tractor drives in when only 1 brake is on.

I use my parking brake often, if I don't want to drop the bucket or when I have something on back such as the tiller, which won't stop me from rolling. I always set it hard enough so that the tractor lets me know when it's on; i.e;, doesn't want to move. Otherwise what's the sense of using it?

on.
