My main tractor is a 71hp 62hp pto that uses a "wet brake system". I have been using it the past couple of days to do some brush hogging. I have noticed that it is running hot and I assumed it was because I was pushing it pretty hard in some tall weeds. But yesterday I was pulling a 10ft brush hog up a pretty steep incline (welcome to east TN) and went to downshift and realized I had no brakes. As my grandfather used to say, my but* could have pinched a 20 penny nail.
It is topped off with anti-freeze and is full of brake fluid. The radiator and fins are also clean. Could a thermostat problem be causing the brake fluid to overheat?
