We are thinking of upgrading the brakes on both of are hd 1000's. we came up with the idea of using corvett calipers becuse they have 4 piston's. anybody have any other suggestions?

What kind of issue are you having? In a steep hill, I usually either try to have a good load of snow in the drag or downshift the machine.

When ever you come to these you are standing on the brake to wait for traffic. I've learned to shift to nutrel here but it just is'nt right. We have approval to proto type are 03 to see.

I don't get it. Are these road crossings pointing you down hill? Tracked machines don't roll that easy, and at idle, in gear, the tranny shouldn't have much foreward force at all. Is the Idle set too high, or is the high idle switch on? Are the brakes bled out and the caliper slides free? Just shouldn't take much braking force at all to keep it stopped at a road crossing, in the snow with a drag on. I'd look deeper before going into modifications.

Idle is right on spec , no high idle switch, the only thing i can think of is there is grease inbedded in the rotor from over greasing. But when you put not just the 03 but also the 02 in gear you are standing on the brake. once again we don't have the hd. We have sevral operators for both groomers and we all aggree on the same.

Something is not working right with the caliper or slides, again, shouldn't take much at all to hold it in place. It's not like we're talking about bringing it to a stop from high speed. Pull the caliper, make sure the slides are free and and make sure the piston pushes back in smoothly, I'm betting either the slides, or piston or both are hanging up.

You want to ask for rebuilt, the cost is about $45.00 not counting what you get back on your core charge. I am no expert I just ask folks in the know! Good Luck!

Is the pedal rock hard under your foot? If so it would lead me to believe that there is no vaceum to the brake booster. If the pedal under your foot starts off hard and starts to fade, you may have a master cylender leaking by the internal piston. Could you provide any more info. I'm sure someone can figure this out. It's tough to diagnose a problem without feeling the problem under your own foot.

Someone said before about it should'nt move easy with a drag full of snow, this is true, but we have to dump the drag all most every time we cross a street. If a tucker had no drag on it should i still not have this issue?
