I'm new to this Group. Not sure where to ask/post. Has anyone had a problem with the brake not working on the 1025R? Had an accident recently mowing on a small incline.

I moved your thread to the proper forum and edited the title for more views and better future searches. :good2:
Can you you give us more details on what’s going on and what happened? That’ll help us help you. :hi:

I trust mine more than I should , but it still holds the tractor on an steep incline.
It makes a racket when I drive with it on, so have never driven more than an inch. I imagine if you would drive with it on a lot it would wear out. I am guessing that is not your case?

Welcome to the forum. More info is really needed on what happened. There are no brakes on the front wheels, so in a case where the back end gets light, the brakes can't stop the tractor. That would be one example, especially if a front end loader is involved. I guess something could also need adjusting.
Can you be more specific than "not working"?
Did the pedal just go down and nothing happened at all? This would very rare. Almost certainly the linkage to the pedal coming off and probably an easy fix.
Or did one back wheel lock up and the other kept spinning, which usually results in not stopping and tearing up grass. In this case, it is the linkage connecting the brake to the differential lock that is probably loose or broken. This linkage activates the differential lock as you step on the brake pedal, which allows the brakes to apply to both back wheels. Most inexpensive lawn tractors do not have this feature, so you may recognize it from other equipment.
Or did both back wheels brake and the front wheels kept spinning? This would be normal unless you're in 4wd. if you are in 4wd, the mechanical drive connection will stop which essentially brakes the front wheels too. But if you're not in 4wd, the front wheels do not have independent brakes. This is one of the many reasons you should always use 4wd when working on hills, wet/loose terrain, or hauling heavy loads.

It appears this will remain a mystery. He posted on the 14th, returned for a visit on the 15th after several posts asking questions and no reply or follow up and no further visits......
Oh well, hopefully the brakes aren't responsible for why there has been no follow up or return to GTT.......:hide:
