well mike explained it pretty well, they are just a different style of brakes that are designed to run in the oil of the rearend,they are usualy mounted on the inner end of the axle trumpet or on a countershaft ahead of the rear axle. on my ford 8000 they are on the inner end of the axle trumpet so in order to service them you must remove the wheel and axle trumpet. like he said they last a long time, sometimes the entire life of the tractor, it depends on the use and how hard on the brakes the operator is. my ford 8000 needed brakes when i bought it, it had around 6500 hrs on it so i assume they were the original brakes,one thing i will add is that parts for wet brakes are often very expensive and very few aftermarket places manufacture them, so usualy they are a dealer item. when i replaced mine it was around 700 bucks worth of parts, and i didnt replace everything, the outer steel disks i turned over and faced off and put a spacer behind them to make them same thickness as original, if i had replaced those it would have been another 250 bucks a side. but i am sure that the brakes should last me the rest of my life. so if your looking at a tractor that needs brakes and they are wet brakes keep that in mind.
