    I have a massey 4345 1900hrs. Very fresh. I had the tanker on today (1000G) and when i went to brake (full load) she made this grinding noise. They did work and she did stop but i didn't like the noise..... Have the tanker connected on the brake pipe. Took off the tanker and tried it again and no noise....????


    Can somebody tell me the bad news and the good news please????

    take the half-axle off and check the brakes?? to be safe as if brakes wear out youl end up replacing hyd pump and steering unit

    if checking brakes- check left hand side as the left wears more than the right , have you tried anti squawk fluid?
