I did something similar. I let someone else make the judgement call on how to position the tractor and nearly paid the ultimate price. Nowadays, I look the job over and make all decisions on tractor placement, pull angle, etc...
On the brake issue, when I got my tractor done, I wanted to show my Dad. I had it set on an incline and had the brakes set. He stopped by and I jumped on and fired it up. Leaving the shifter in neutral (and the brakes set), I jumped off. He jumped on as I was stepping off. He had never had a tractor with brakes and thought I was plumb nuts. Massey 65 brakes when well lined and properly adjusted will stop a divorce.
On the fuel issue, hope you figure it out. We have a PM order at work to remind ya to go out and check/run each piece of equipment. Might pay to fire it up on the first of every month.
