We are lucky enough to have just got a s/h MXU115 with about 6k hours on the clock, previously been used for spraying/top dressing etc.
The thing that strikes me is the sheer effort needed to use the brakes compared to our 5130 (or in fact the other Cases here), the first stroke is a real effort and like pushing the oil out from between the plates - it will stop the tractor, but then the second stroke seems to bring them on as I would expect. Are they normally hard on the leg or should they lock up easily?
I have drained the oil out and it was clean no filings or signs of brake material there or in the filters......now thinking about pulling the axle housings off. I'm well aware that linings can wear and they need to be checked but just wondered if these symptoms sounded familiar to anyone
thanks
