[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1502825, member: 27848"] Case in point is my parking (wet) brake on my Branson 6530. Back when I was running it and a JD 4230, I'd get busy and forget to look at the dash "parking brake on" warning light since the JD didn't have one and I wasn't used to the Branson (new tractor) brake. Many times I would go some distance before I realized I had it engaged. It will be 11 years old in Sept. and I still have about the same lever travel since new and never required adjustment. Contrary to that are my Fords which have dry shoes and I am adjusting them all the time, especially when I forget and move out with them engaged. Same thing on my 6530 PTO. It's independent, 24 wet clutch disc. operated. The tractor has a function that you can push button select, that connects the PTO to the implement position. Rather than being lever controlled (which is there like all Ferguson systems) it also has a push button that is used to raise and lower the PTO to the set positions (position limits set manually)....get to the end of the row, push the button the 3 pt. is up, make your turn, hit the button and the 3 pt. is back down to the preset level. With the PTO automatic button on, when the 3 pt lifts, it switches the PTO off....at full engine rpms or whatever rpms you are running when executing the turn, and reconnects it upon completion of the turn when you hit the 3 pt drop switch. The transmission is 24F 24R and has the foot clutch pedal assisted shuttle, fully synchronized,....shift as fast as you can move the lever and smooth as silk. [/QUOTE]
