You know if its on, it makes a god awfull grinding sound and the controls fly forward as the engine stalls.As goodtech told me, they can be a total pig to get rite, it is a job you can do your self it just takes some fiddling (and lots of beer). If you wish to give it a go, i can scan the pages of my manual for you, if nothing else, it may reduce the creeping for you.I would never run a bobcat without a park brake, *if* you blew a hydraulic line and lost all or most of your hydraulic oil you would have NO way to stop if you were up a hill. Believe me, they run down hills really fast when they have no oil left in the motors! I was moving a dead unit with one of my machines and it jumped over the chocks i had under the wheels, the chase was on! but the story did end well, i managed to grab it by the bucket's rams, yet another use for 4 in 1 buckets, catching bobcats <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
