Well, this weekend is going to be one to remember. I was using my BH to remove some steel rebar that run through some landscape timbers and I moved the tractor forward set the parking brake and lowered the bucket left it running, went to get some insecticide to spray on the ant hill I uncovered. When I got back the tractor made a loud "click" and there she went down the hill into the drainage ditch and came to a sudden stop. What I want to know is how can a parking brake, on a new machine with 25 hrs on it, can just pop out? I went down shut it off and tried the brake again and it seems to hold. Now I am left with a destroyed FEL, hood, bent mower deck brackets, and a bent bumper, all because of a parking brake that didn't hold. Thank God I was not on it. Has any one had any issues with the parking brake on the GC series? I cannot seem to upload any photos. I am going to try another post.
