Mechanical Wet Disc Brakes

Posted by Bill VA on September 06, 2017 at 18:46:39 from (216.24.79.193):

As I've posted previously, we have some hills (flat land too) and I'm somewhat paranoid about powered brakes when going down a hill in the event of an engine stalling out for whatever reason and no brakes as a result. My MF50 has weak, but mechanical dry brakes. My trusty JD5055d has mechanical wet disc brakes. My Farmall 756 has power assisted brakes and on this tractor; they disappear if the engine dies.

So - looking at some tractors on tractordata's website, I'm surprised how high in hp the Ford 7710 and 6610 go and yet have mechanical wet brakes. Our old Ford 3000 had mechanical dry brakes and they were an easy lock-up and slide! I get the impression all Ford 1965 year models and up had great brakes.

Any other tractor males/models out there with mechanical wet brakes?

These Ford 10 series tractors look better and better every time I window shop them.....

Thanks!
Bill
