Perhaps your brake switch needs adjustment? It should activate with light pressure on the pedal, before the friction brake is fighting the motor that much. Look underneath and you'll see a pin from the brake pedal that pushes on the brake switch lever. Loosen nut with a small wrench to adjust. On 6/13/12 10:51 AM, Charlie wrote:
Turning OFF the cruise is not so smooth - the motor seems to want to keep going until the tractor's been dragged to a dead stop by the friction brake, so it's actually quicker to stand up and release the seat switch.
