Is there a switch to unplug the 4x4 when you press the brakes? Like a brake light switch on a car down at the brake pedal. I have no use for this! And if known will this effect the 4x4 switch in cab to place it in 4x4 when needed?

Sorry no clue if you could simply eliminate the 4x4 from the break but just kinda curious why one would want to do this? I’ve never noticed any issue with the breaking or setup on my M7060. I’m sure others can tell you if you can simply unhook the foot pedal part.

If I'm understanding this right you want to eliminate the 4wd from engaging when you brake.
WHY?
It's one heck of a good feature that you don't know you need until you need it.
It increases the braking and stability of the tractor 100%.
I can't think of a logical reason to eliminate it????

Are you saying the 4x4 disconnects when you press the brake? This seems like an undesirable action.
Was trying to answer potreeboy or others maybe not so understanding of what your trying to do. I own this tractor and can figure out why you would want to disconnect the 4x4 breaking system.
To answer your question NO I don’t have a clue if you can do this but thanks for your reasoning behind this thread. Be safe and good luck hitting the 4x4 switch when you need the breaks.

I'm curious to know why the 4x4 braking is an issue? When is it causing an undesired situation?
Ive never noticed the 4wd braking to be an issue, mind you I pull a trailer on the road quite a bit. My brake pedals are always locked together as I have no need to ever turn tight.

Are you saying thats what your machine does? Never noticed it on mine…..that would be a whole lot of drivetrain wear.
dont drive on road. dont need this thing going in and out of 4x4 ever time i use breaks. just something else to break. End of thread Thanks

I am floored. So is it actually engaging the front wheels to brake on all 4 or is it only engaging brakes on front wheels? I never thought to look. How is that any good at all for tight turns in 2WD?
Just my take from reading it, it engages 4 wheel drive when both brake pedals are pressed to tie front wheels together with rear to essentially give you 4 wheel braking. It doesn’t read like it does it when using the brakes individually…can’t find a free WSM for the tractor to see what it uses to sense and engage though. Also note this was only on the 12 speed models the way the owner manual read.
