ABSTRACT:
A tractor air brake system including front wheel brake actuators, rear wheel brake actuators, and control valve means for controlling the service air pressure delivered to the front wheel brake actuators. When a tractor is equipped with this brake system, the control valve means operates to vary the service air pressure delivered to the front wheel brake actuators relative to that delivered to the rear wheel brake actuators in order to minimize tractor front wheel lock and loss of steering control when operating a tractor-trailer combination and to provide safe stopping when operating the tractor only.
