I stated that the 1010 wheel tractor brakes were awful, even when brand new.
We always wondered the same thing, when we tried to improve 1010s. But the disk brakes that Deere used differ slightly in design that some sytems found in Oliver, Case, IH, AC, etc. Deere MT, 40,420, 440, 320, and 1010s, along with some Farmalls use the same 5" brake disks.
It also depends on where you put those brakes. i.e. what level of gear-reduction they have to stop. Whatever shaft those brakes are on, the closer it is to actual wheel speed, the worse they will work. That is also the reason why the brakes on two-cylinder horizontal engined tractors work pretty well.
And, some companies not only use the two round disks, but also add a band on the outside - like my Case 580CK.
I can't stay I ever studied it all too closely. We had complaints from just about any person we sold a 1010 wheel tractor to, and found that nothing we did improved them. Same with some 420 wheel tractors, but I suspect less was expected of them. We'd pull the metal plates off, send them out to a machine shop and have them grooved to prevent glazing. We'd then stick in new disks. After that, the tractor would half-way stop for a few weeks and then, get lousy again.

As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
