I would have to agree with you actually. My tractors use standard brake
fluid and I've never had a water problem - well, the one time the Super
A ended up in the irrigation pond at the orchard, but that wasn't my
fault. *:)


;-) Just a note of caution, I'm known more than one person who has had a
tractor roll over on them. *One of them, is no longer with us because of
the event. *Those things are more dangerous than it would appear.


Been there, done that - got the t-shirt.


My favorite was pulling a hay wagon with about 300 bales on it with
the MTA I restored.


Up a hill.


Doing a wheelie for the first couple of hundred feet. *:)


Growing up around a farm, and all of us being gear heads, I've got
some stories! Just as a reference point, I'd taken a load of hay up to
another farmer with a Ford 8n. There's a place in the road where it's
downhill. Let the hay wagon at the farm, so I decided that'd be a
great place to kick that thing into neutral. A Ford 8n doesn't handle
worth a damned at 30 or so mph!!! Those rear tires were just freakin'
howling because it was swaying side to side so much that I used the
whole 2 lane county road!


Been there too. only I was pulling a hay wagon, or it was pushing me
and swaying hard. about lost the load which would have been right on
top of me.

Not good!
