A rotor is much lighter than a steel drum.
And ya rotors are a pain to change but easier than a s cam.
Yes... but can stop them all lol lots of our running is gravel and that don’t help.
I haven’t had to thaw one yet. Can usually get them broke free with a solid bar between rom holes and against drum.
I also have the supply gladhand ball valve. In winter I’ll close it before I release trailer air and it will hold brakes off.

Yea whenever any of ours run in the rain/snow they just block the wheels in the barn and leave the brakes off. Hoping they cool and freeze before the parking brakes set. Not an issue with disk
