Today, for the first time in a while, I decided to do a “full and proper” inspection instead of the cursory glance I’ve gotten used to. The rig failed HUGE on the brake test. Engine off, foot on pedal for 30 seconds, I lost over half the pressure in the primary tank. Then I pumped the pedal until both tanks had about 40 psi… the tractor protection valve never popped. I’ve put myself out of service for today. The only place I’m going is the shop.
Sorry, brothers and sisters. I’ll do better.
