Abstract: A brake and steering arrangement on a tractor comprising a substantially vertically extending structural support column for connection at a lower end to a floor of a tractor cab and carrying means to support a steering wheel at its upper end. A single cylinder is supported within the column. A first braking circuit operates left and right rear brakes and a second braking circuit operates a cardan brake, characterised in that braking circuits are connected to a single cylinder mounted on the steering column in the tractor cab and wherein said steering column comprises a valve unit, so that the brakes are operable by two pedals.
