They have a big mechanical advantage being mounted at the transmission, whatever axle ratio they use multiplies the braking torque. Still wouldn't want to ride the brakes down a long hill though, all the heat's gonna be concentrated in that one disc.

@@BitterCynical yes and no, When you drive a large vehicle, and go through the mountains or other tight areas (yes believe it or not we do have those in the united states :D ), your service brakes alone an the heat your putting into them can';t be your only tool. so gearing down to save the brakes for when you need them is a real thing. Not to mention if you love track driving, the ability to balance the vehicle with the throttle and gearing for corners is pretty big i my book. I don;t think the car manufactures made it any better in the mid 90's on with how they designed electronic transmissions and cruise control. Many are reluctant to incapable of correctly down shifting or performing correctly. Cheaper mass production city cars are the worse offenders of this in my experience as they aren't expected to have the loads that even small pickup trucks or utility vans experience.

Light but fast vs slow but heavy. In the end we’re just turning that energy to heat. Most tractors switch the front wheel drive on when braking to improve traction for engine braking, and also it’s at least a 2-3x larger Diesel engine compared to a car (= better engine braking)

those calipers are plenty big enough, if you account for the gear reduction AFTER where they are installed. Also, everybody complains about how expensive john deere parts are, but noone bats an eye when a CUSTOM MADE brake piston for a case is cheaper then a stock one?

Got to love Kevin's attitude

I worked in a gold mine in Nevada. The use of anti-seize was absolutely critical. In one week 3 cases of anti-seize was used in one area of the mine. There wasn’t a single door knob, telephone, wrench handle ortool box that was not anti-seized generously. It got so bad that if you needed anti-seize you had to sign it out of the Forman’s office. No one wanted to sign it, out because if it was found where it wasn’t supposed to be. Whoever had it signed out would get the ass chewing. If you had it signed out it became a gameto get it awayfrom you so some one could go smear a door knob.

Usually what I've seen in cars the hollow part of the piston points outside so there is need for less brakefuild and also I'm guessing the piston is sturdier because the solid part is always inside the cylinder.

Steiger brakes are applied once every 2-3 years... The engineering reflects.

Brakes on the 9000 series steigers are sketchy, had a 9390 over-run on me going down a hill once and I lost steering.. pretty much just had to hold on until the bottom of the hill lol :( EDIT - For reference had a 57ft flexicoil air seeder and P1060 air cart hooked up behind it.. loaded. Also maybe had 3200 gallons of liquid fert..

Did Kevin just say the wife's bathroom doekje? Is he Dutch too? :D

Kevin got all his money's worth out of those pads. And kind of mind bending that it's less expensive to have new pistons fabricated than buying new ones..

the bleader on the bottom is how they bleed it in franche. ;)

So, why am I supposed to change out my break fluid again?

Being part French I agree

cool

The homeless guy working on these brakes is AWESOME LOL

Kevin said he’s never seen the ratcheting parking brake mechanism before, tell him he’s fully qualified to work on Honda rear disc brakes now.

If I go through one day without something broken or nearly broken on my farm equipment im wondering if I'm going to die. So I just keep fixing

Gonna say you got your money out of those brakes

KEV!

It’s like my airplane. Bleeders on the bottom. Use a pressure pot to bleed it towards the master cylinder.

Yeah I’ll be ordering a massive list of parts I need for my truck the once I’m into it I’ll find more shit that’s broke, so I’ll have to break shit to break more shit to fix shit. Then while I’m waiting for my parts I’ll be on Facebook looking for another project truck to dump more $ Into. Funny how that works. You go through all the pain of fixing one vehicle then decided u wanna repeat the process again, but this time u know what to expect.

@@littlemannot True, but I was repairing internal wet brakes in the early 90s so I expect it probably has more to do with the expense. Internal wet brakes would increase the cost of the machine a fair amount and servicing them is also expensive. I was just surprised it was using such an old design. Then again, he repaired it in less than a day, while re-lining and servicing wet brakes took me a few days since the differentials had to be removed and completely disassembled. The more I think about it, those tractors always operate on flat ground so braking is not as demanding as something working down in a rock quarry or conditions similar. Still... a single caliper for such a large machine just seems wrong. LOL

I have never liked the bench adjust vice. French side will always surrender first....just be ready
