And split brakes are your best friend
I plumb the front blower on the B7200 the other way.One of the keys to using float, without the front wheels raising, is to hit it quick. Don't push forward slowly to engage float. If you push forward on the stick slowly, the down pressure of the loader will just lift the front end before it goes into float.
I find this to be true of dirt/snow/gravel, at least with my tractor this is the case. I'm thinking probably most tractors.
Until I forget, and then there not. Been in the ditch because of hitting one brake at speed in snow and ice, slid off of the road. So now I always check for the break lock before removing snow.And split brakes are your best friend
Yeah, that would be a pain to use.How does anyone use a Single brake to steer on an HST tractor? My Kioti has the HST pedal on the right side just under the brake pedals. Too bad the brakes aren’t on the left under the clutch pedal…
The old B7200 has a hand HST control as well as a foot control. (No reverse from the hand unit)How does anyone use a Single brake to steer on an HST tractor? My Kioti has the HST pedal on the right side just under the brake pedals. Too bad the brakes aren’t on the left under the clutch pedal…
I use my steering wheel. I joke, the brake on mine is a single pedal on the left, and when doing snow removal with my end loader is the only time I wish it had split brakes. I’ve read but don’t know if it’s true there is a brake on just one side on my tractor and it brakes both wheels by engaging the differential lock when hitting the brake.How does anyone use a Single brake to steer on an HST tractor?
