320 park brake sensitvity

[RS320]

I bought a 2005 320 with glass, heat and AC about 5 months ago and have been using it on my farm, it has about 950 hrs on it and have been using it to pull trees and dirt work in a pasture. When I am driving through the pasture the which isn't the smoothest, but the park brake will set and bring me to an instant stop, I am able to flip the switch and be able to take off again. I am not bouncing around that much and am wondering why it is so sensitive, is there a way to adjust something to make it less sensitive or disconnect something to where it won't do it. the hydrostat really whines when it happens and I think it is hard on it when it happens. It seems like the hydrostat whines bad at an idle anyway, I am not sure if that is normal either. Thanks for any help.

You can jump the operator presence switch. you are likely bouncing enough that the machine believes you are in "danger" / left the seat and as a precaution it applies the brake to prevent injury or damage. If you jump the seat switch remember to unplug it before you exit or the monitor will stay on and kill your battery. Hope this helps.
