stop at highest speed in highest gear on a

brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:
1. Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or
paved surface, depress clutch/brake
pedal all the way down and engage
parking brake.

tion.
The rear wheels must lock and skid
when you try to manually push the tractor
forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then
the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a
