Question 1095 in the bank

Is it possible to brake only one wheel in a tractor?

  1. Yes, on both axles.
  2. Correct answer: Only on the rear axle.
  3. Not on any axle.
  4. Only on the front axle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Only on the rear axle.

Tractors usually have two separate brake pedals, one for the left rear wheel and one for the right rear wheel. This lets the driver brake a single rear wheel to make tighter turns, mainly in field work. The front wheels have no such separate braking. On the road, both pedals should be locked together so braking is even and the tractor does not swerve or overturn.
