Kevin,

I don't think you ever really said what caused the brakes to lock up! Did you have a line lock failure or were you just excited and just forgot to let go of the button. :roll:

Seriously, I just want to know what the root cause was!

Yep... However, they locked up when I applied the brakes and I may have been a little agressive on the peddle.. I will be installing a proportioning valve on the system also......

Yes he did... I think it may be a proportioning problem. I actually stood on them a little hard in Belle Rose last season and put a flat spot on them the front tires and had to replace them.... We are adding a proportioning valve this time...
