New Holland TC30

[RickB]

I live on a hillside, quite literally. If I didn't set the parking brake *every* time I got off the tractor, I'd be running after my tractor a lot more than I do now. (Yeah, every once in a while I still forget. You oughta see me jump back into that seat!)

When I set the parking brake, I have to push very hard on the pedal to get it to lock and not move. We are talking putting all my weight on it and shoving against the seat.

I live in hill country as well and this is what I was talking about. But I gotta remember Soundguy lives in Florida and has to travel out of state to find any hills!!!!

When I have the parking brake properly set, the engine will not move the tractor. I have HST, and it just sits there....

I wouldn't admit that to anyone. if one of my tractors did that.. it would mean it was broke.. and needed fixing... yet another reason i will not own a hydro trans.

IMHO, When i let the clutch the only acceptable outcomes are as follows:

1, i move

2, the clutch slips

3, the engine stalls

We have a few 'fake' hills .. mostly roads with steep inclines running near the middle of the state in a few areas.. but no 'mountains'.. etc.
