On my Massey Ferguson F40 with FEL I feel that going downhill requires significant braking--I basically have to stand on the brake pedals. If I don't do that, it's happy to keep going. This is typically in a coasting situation, maybe 10 mph or less and yes--I can limit speed by creeping down in low/low gear--but sometimes I want to get the last hundred feet or so covered a bit more quickly. Since this is my only tractor and the previous owner represented that the brakes were recently replaced, is this basically the performance I can expect? And, no--I don;t know if he actually replaced the brakes. The tractor stops, and I've never let it get away from me, but I do have hills where I live. Will also post in the MF section. Thanks for any input.
