That dang parking brake!

If I am on a hill I kill the engine, drop the 3pth implement, then raise the 3pth lever back up. That way it will save the grass when I restart and drive accross the lawn...

While using my tractor today I had a duh moment. I realized I have a brake light. I just see that now and all is good. Big red P glowing is all I need now to remind me. Ha, why didn't I see that before.

Luke, Ha. I know. LOL

LOL I was going to say the same thing, you're like the only one of us fortunate enough to have a brake light!!!! LOL I always forget mine is set too, mostly because I'm lazy and don't set it very tight so the tractor don't even notice.

So I just copied a mod suggested in this forum (someone please help me give credit to the "inventor / originator" as I can't find the original post). /QUOTE]

I believe it was Paul Shorts (4Shorts) who you may be referring to regarding this mod. Paul has inspired many helpful mods on this forum and I know that I for one have copied many of his ideas.

This is one I haven't done yet, but is definitely on my list since I too am guilty of forgetting when my brakes are locked.

Thanks for sharing!

I have a BX2360, if I try to pull out with the parking brake on it will stall. Maybe the small tractors don't have enough power to overcome the brakes.
