I don't see how cast iron warps since it is a fairly stable metal to begin with. As for disc brakes I have more one sided wear from stuck calipers than anything and hate disc brakes. Drums work better for me with less maintenance. Put one set of shoes on in 200,000 miles and changed a few sets of those foolish pads on the same vehicle. Semi went 700,000 on the first set of shoes first 3 years was driving Chicago traffic from Detroit to Halstead street exit off I-80. I used to run about 150,000 miles a year back then. Containers had notoriously poor brakes on them. So truck did most of the work stopping then. OTR work I run over most all of the western mountains even on a lot of the old 2 lanes out there like across US-12 and up US-95 from down by Payette Id to Lewiston or I-90. Lots of hills and steep grades in CO too. Like over La Veta pass on US-160 from Walsenburg to Fort Garland. West is easier than east there.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
