[AT] Now Ralph Video -- disc brakes

[rdhaskell at juno.com]

Hi Charlie.  The problem is on a truck you have tires that are maybe 31"
tall, and on a tractor you have tires 5' tall.  The mechanical advantage
goes to the tire .  Even putting over size tires on a car diminishes the
breaking capability, and you are talking just a few inches taller.
