Are parking brakes / emergency brakes really used much, if at all?

[QUOTE="Jyuma1, post: 126590, member: 22244"] I agree with anyone who states you should never exit a running machine however, I have never met a single loader operator who doesn't routinely do just that; myself included. As a result, I always set the parking brake when leaving the machine for any reason, running or not. If these machines didn't need the safety feature of a parking brake, why would any manufacturer go to the expense of including a parking brake? Having said all of that, I can't tell you how many times I forgot to release the parking brake and drove quite a distance before disengaging the brake. Maybe the parking brake will be able to stop creep, but it can never stop a running machine receiving a control input to drive, [/QUOTE]
