Need some help. I live in v. rough country and have to maintain my farm track roads with a tractor and a blade on the three-point. Been using a JD 2510, great tractor; nevertheless, it died once while on a steep grade, and the power brakes died too. I went backwards at a high rate of speed and was fortunate to be at a place with no curve and a wide landing area.

I'm a retired soldier, not a tractor mechanic. A graded road ain't worth dying for.
