I'd be willing to bet that 1) an operator runs with their foot on the brake(s) or 2) the brakes weren't adjusted properly (or possibly mis-assembled) from the outset and wore prematurely.

What R Leo said X2, any machine I have had; JD, Fiat, Komatsu, Kubota, Case all had separate parking brakes. The beauty of wet brakes is their longevity. I sold a tractor backhoe a while back with 14,000 hard commercial hours on the clock; original wet brakes worked fine.
