The brake pipe was connected at the time of the accident, it was the tipping pipe that he and a full time employee had trouble with. The brake pedals were disconnected after the accident. They could have come disconnected during the accident, who knows, the tractor cab was flat, full of grain, and the tractor was on its side. In any event I am fairly sure that that tractor had not been doing any field work, so why would a reasonably experienced driver have the brake pedals separated?
Well I have 40 yrs of experience & forgotten to link the peddles more times than I would like to admit.
A most archaic system, not fit for this century. IMO.
