In a 2WD steering configuration, how can the operator effectively steer and control the machine?

In a 2WD steering configuration, effectively steering and controlling the machine relies significantly on the use of brakes. The operator can utilize differential braking to steer the machine. By applying the brakes to one side, the operator can pivot the machine around that side, allowing for more precise maneuverability, especially in tighter spaces or when navigating around obstacles. This method helps to offset the challenges posed by having power to only two wheels, thus enhancing the machine's responsiveness and control during operation.

While the steering wheel is an essential tool for changing direction, in a 2WD setup, the effectiveness of steering can be improved dramatically through the strategic application of brakes. Adjusting hydraulic controls or varying engine RPMs may influence the operation of the machine but do not directly contribute to steering like the brakes do in this context.
