Air brakes are the way forward it’s as simple as that, all new tractors should come with air brakes but they should use standard HGV parts to make maintenance and replacement cheep and easy

I personally think Cowabunga and others should reel their necks in on this subject.
There are Tff members personally involved in his tragic incident,
Perhaps reflection after the conclusion, would be more relevant,
You are full of facts COWABUNGA,
But you are severely lacking in sensitivity,
Please give it a rest. at least till the case is concluded.
You can’t censor the bloke for talking about brakes though...as in the post #145 above. Surely that’s not offensive is it?You are full of facts COWABUNGA,

Back in the 1970's when I learned to drive farm machinery, uncle always told me to drive as if it has no brakes, as often it didn't. Stood me in good stead. I still drive like that.
The problem with brakes and a good many safety systems is you come to rely on them and so you push the envelope and then one day they let you down when you need them most.

Christ, you just don’t listen to anyone do you,
Tragic sequence of events take place every day,
But when fellow members are affected or offended. I think it’s time to keep quite,
Will be asking for thread to be put on hold,
Is their no compassion !!!!!
Because they are fail safe for one thing, air suspension is also far better than springs, plus you can blow your tyres up with airWhy ?
I have read this thread completely, yes you may have all the technical knowledge, but you severely lack sensitivity,
Would love to call round to your place. Farm of wherever you work, to pick through your documented Building and Machinery protocols and find everything in place,
I doubt they even exist.
Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security though.You can still have a very good braking system with hydraulic brakes on commercial Axles....
