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! |
