Do Bateman sprayers have brake lights?

[Sonoftheheir]

As the title, do they? I drive one and obviously can’t see the back when braking.

If so how does it work?

I m sure they work like the rest of them? Never used a Bateman but as soon as you pull the stick back brake lights go on!

Put a brick on the pedal and get out

Ha! No pedals in there.

I asked the same question about the househam we just got I was told it works off a hydraulic pressure switch so when you slow down they come on

My 2017 Bateman does, when you pull the stick back the brake lights come on.

Well the mystery has been solved! My RB26 never had the pressure valve fitted to work the brake lights. So only 3 years without them
They did send the parts out and it’s now been sorted.

But still waiting for the mods for the steps to the engine bay etc to be done

One would think combines would be similar but I guess not.

Combines have brakes though? Most SP sprayers don’t.

Our cx brake lights come on when the lever is pulled back

I'm curious as to why the difference.

Is it legal to send out a vehicle from the factory without all lights working?

I would guess that the point would be with out a brake peadle no braking had taken place so they would / could argue that they were all working, my rb 25 has no brake lights but must be legal on the road or approved for road use.

How quick does it slow down... thinking of the car behind here?

Good PDI from Bateman there.

Some people like to stand on the independent brakes to turn a combine at the ends.
Combines also have final drives and half shafts to hang a brake assembly on, perhaps much more difficult to achieve with SP. I know parking brake is built into rear motor assy, but unlikely to be man enough for hauling machine to a halt. I *think* the bigger Househams do have foot brake? but unsure of system operation.
As an aside, I bet there are plenty of Lexions that nobody uses the brakes ever, due to their propensity for the calipers to seize.... and then lock on..

Well they did have a lot to build at the time, they must just have forgot.
