formariz 12,045 #1 Posted July 18, 2017 Wondering if one is going down full speed on a very steep hill on a hydro like an Electro 12 which has no actual brake and drive belt breaks, does tractor slow to a stop quickly or not? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,841 #2 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) It will drift very slowly to the bottom of slope...or may completely stop. Don't pull up the parking brake in a 'panic stop' as this will damage the internals and, eventually, ruin the pump and motor....ready for rebuild.

formariz 12,045 #3 Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks Dave. Can always count on you. Oldest grandchild is beginning to go around on tractor by himself, and just always thinking of worst case scenarios so they can be prevented. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
