Braking System

I just had our braking system redone on our Hyster S60XM. Our brakes only feel minimally better after the almost 2k dollar job. I have to put a lot of pressure on the brake pedal for it to start braking and even then it does not stop as well as I thought a new system would. The technician told me that there is not a lot of pressure on the brakes because of the "old" design of the system. He said the brake has to deactivate the transmission first then it will brake. I don't know much about these braking systems, does this sound right to anyone? Please help, thanks in advance!!

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
