Cutting Brakes

[jetboat]

And Im not talking front/rear DIG. While moving rocks with the tractor for the course this weekend, I was using the cutting Brakes to manuver since with a rear loader and heavy rocks I had almost no steering. Well long story short, has anyone tried to build a cutting brake system where you can brake one of the rear or front wheels, I would think if you used it with DIG, you could make it around some realy tight spots without rear steer.

I Was Thinkin About Dinging All The Quick Steel Out Of The Rear Diff To Make It Open Mounting A Rod On A Servo That Will Go Into The Holes In The Rim On The Left Or Right Side For Cutting Brakes I Know It Was On The Form Before Do You Think It Will Work

If You Get A Wheel Off The Ground Make The Servo Push The Rod To Lock The Free Spinnig Wheel Its Just A Brain Fart Of Mine

the locker problem is what stopped me from just building it myself
