I've got no brakes!

R3 tyre Jinmas come through with Drum brakes unless specified
otherwise. They are softer and are easier on grass. Makes more
sense on the R3 units. Personally I like them better than the disks.

I will try to take pictures of them this weekend. There must have been some type of manufacturing defect.

My 224 are drum type and I have never had a problem. Not yet anyways. Very odd how some come through with disc and some drum.

Been my experience that the tractors that are shipped with 12" front wheels get drum and those with 16" get disk brakes
