Nope, but I almost bought a used one a while back. My problem presently is a lack of disposable income. Well, a lack of income, period, or at least expenses being greater than income. Anything I do make that looks like money is getting spent on farm equipment parts, fuel, twine, and paying off a new tractor tire.

My understanding is that rear drums work just as well as rear discs. I have heard that mentioned before. Also, Some say that drums are actually better for towing. I don't know if any of this is true or not.
