[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1812188, member: 26138"] It's just about the only reason. The problem is that whatever buzzer or flashing light gizmo they use to alert the operator seems to never work forever and it's just a matter of time until someone leaves it on and smokes it. A parking brake used properly will last almost indefinitely in a perfect world, but humans aren't perfect. One of the best I have seen is on our Valtra, the parking brake is built into the shuttle, impossible to leave it applied. The "parking brake" is really just a cable hooked to small hydraulic cylinder that tugs on the brake levers after the wheel cylinders, the cylinder has a heavy spring inside, hydraulics release it and the spring applies it. Tractor isn't going anywhere unless the cable breaks. The Fins were using their brains a little for that one. [/QUOTE]
