The brake on a hydro can be set so the tractor don't roll away when the pressure subsides in the hydro pump. Also, the brake can be set while the tractor is "RUNNING" while you get off and remove objects in the way! I always have the brake set while the engine is running and I'm off it preforming visual inspections of the engine, or any other component of the machine.
Anyone ever leave their hydro drive cub cadet sit for a few weeks? I do. And I can tell you that I can push the tractor slowly, with out activating the pump dump valve. There is nothing wrong with my hydro drive tractor, either! You all are saying the brake is for stopping on a hydro drive? When you know full-well that once depressed fully, the tractor returns to neutral position as the brake engages.
So from what all you "engineers" are claiming, is that IH just decided to add an extra bunch of B.S to a garden tractor back in 1975 ( Quiet Line 1450 ) that cost nearly 3K$????
Keep smoking your pipes!

John, I'm not sure what you are getting at with this post. Didn't make much sense. I'm well aware how a tractor works, drives and how to fix it. Don't really need any help in that area.....Logged thousands of hours in the seat of tractors, and thousands of hours in shop working on them. I'm not really sure what the heck you are talking about the engineers adding things that weren't needed to a GT starting with the QL tractors?? As far as brakes are concerned, all the hydro tractors have had them since the beginning. Oh well.... guess I'll go smoke my pipe.
