| has anyone figured out how to do differential braking on a mower yet? I think it would be sweet to be able to swing the front end around like you can a farm tractor lol I know i could use it in the woods when pullin out trees for firewood | |

| I guess you could. You would need a brake on each axle even though that would basicly make it a zero turn

| A brake on each axle would do it just fine. It wouldn't be a zero turn since a ZT reverses one wheel while the other one is going forward. It would give a very small turn radius. Remember that the unbraked wheel will speed up as the braked axle slows down | |

| Diff brake is far from posi. Its made to lock one axle or the other so the opposite spins. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| Full size tractors usually have limited slip or differential locks. If you try a diff brake setup on a straight axle, it wont work. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| I messed around on a 4020 with the dual brakes it's ok for tight turns and all but it won't help if your stuck most of the time it will just burn up your brake. | |
