Hi have any of you noticed your loadall brakes fade / go if engine stoped
Ie you put your foot on brake to talk to someone stop engine and then two- four minutes later machine starts to roll
My brother broke his back he was parked on a road and a car came so he reversed down a slight hill on road at speed some how the engine stalled and he couldnt start it ( probably in panic didnt pull handbrake on to activate start switch) he went for foot brake and nothing happened on second or third use and he went over a wall dropping eight to ten feet into a field
I believe the brakes are hydronic and the accumulator runs out.
similar to the smooth ride set up
I was working on a farm and experienced the brake fade as yard on a hill and if you stoped engine with out handbrake on after two three presses of the pedal brakes would go so i got jcb to re fill/ fit new accumulator
So ok now
Has any one els experienced same problem
I personally think its a dangerous set up
