My NH 1715 has wet brakes. I am pretty certain it means that the brakes, shoes or disks,are submerged in fluid. They may be submerged in the same fluid the trans. uses. My 1715's brakes are. They work just fine. ....

burtlam; Wet brakes mean that the wheel brakes for your tractor are inside the transmission case usually on the differental pinnion shaft so that they are cooled by the transmission fluid, dry brakes on the otherhand are outside the transmission case and no lubricant is in the brake, similar to the disc or drum brakes on your car, also the cooling of the dry brake is usually by radiation of the heat to the air surrounding it. Wet brakes have a much longer life than dry brakes and usually no adjustments are needed till they wear out. Allways use the transmission fluid recommended by the maker of your tractor, as poor brake performance, or chattering of the brakes can result if the wrong type of fluid is used. Hope this helps. ....
