They are not like the brakes on a car, and need to be used carefully. They will usually hold on an incline, but you need to be careful. If you don't have excess play in the pedals, the disks need to be replaced or at least sanded to roughen them up. Or they could have oil on them. The IH disk brakes are not the worlds best, the preceding band brakes are better. The disks need to be used. I have seen mine lose their effectiveness just sitting there for several months. If pulling a wagon with people on it, don't use 4th even if it will pull it, slow down well in advance of a stop, and avoid emergency stops. The main thing is the same as driving a car or truck. You have to be experienced with the vehicle, whatever it is. You need to be aware of your capabilities and the capabilities of the vehicle. This is not bragging, but I have never had an accident on a tractor or car or truck in 60 something years of driving, except when I was going 5-10 mph in my pickup and the idiot ahead of me stopped.
