I"m not threateneing any sort of public tribunalon the internet... just stating what happened, my opinion, and asking if I"m off base. Seems to be about 60/40 or so that I"m not off base, but again, its not a tribunal, just a discussion. I see the point of the gentleman regarding his concern about my taking a less expensive approach to brakes when its used for a parade, but I consider the following: 1. I"m painfully aware of keeping a good following distance and of being vigilant. 2. Its a parade... the fastest I"m travelling is the speed of the slowest marching band. The tractor rolls to a stop in less than 20" if I step on the clutch and use NO brake. 3. I"ve never had a bonded brake separate before and had no reason to expect this one to. Even the brakes on my SQUAD car are bonded... not riveted. I don"t feel I was compromising anyone"s safety by buying bonded brakes, although now, after this experience, I may reconsider it. Being unable to stop is less of a concern than having a wheel "lock up" because of a brake band spinning around the drum and wedging.
