I have a massey ferguson 231 which is only about 5 years old. Great tractor except for the brakes. Since i rarely use them it is not a big deal to me however my wife has recently taken an interest in doing some bus hogging and cutting of the pastures lately (an activity that i want to encourage), and she has a terrible time with the brakes. the brakes are mechanal linkage type, and no matter how much i have cleaned, lubed, adjusted them, they just take too much force for her to apply. Is there such a thing as a hydraulic brake retro fit kit that i can install, or does any one have any other ideas?

My 231 also has poor brakes. I thought about going to a break shop and get some more abreasive lining. My showes have little wear, but seam to be glazed . I sanded the lining and drum to break the glaze, but it did not help.

If you find one please holler back. I have trouble with the brakes on the 231 too.

The brakes and clutch both have been rock hard since day one when it was new.
