Gordon Falk mentioned that he had seen a carrier where a farmer had done this modification. The biggest problem you will run into is if you are trying to use the brakes for all the steering and braking, vice using the track warp system. The brakes will overheat and develop brake fade if challenged with doing all the work.
I have seen where guys have installed disc breaks onto tracked vehicles. Apparently it is far preferable.

I'm not thinking of doing this but i'm interested in the concept. Would you somehow be able to do it with two master cylinders? One each side for steering and both together for brakes. I'm trying to get my head round the mounting positions and linkage to achieve this. Ron
