An articulated work machine includes a frame assembly having a front portion and a rear portion; an articulation joint connecting the front and rear portions and adapted to allow pivotal movement about the articulation joint by the front and rear portions; a plurality of front wheels attached to the front portion and a plurality of rear wheels attached to the rear portion; a brake associated with each of the front wheels and rear wheels; a steering sensor adapted to provide a steering signal from a steering mechanism of the articulated work machine; and a controller adapted to receive the steering signal, and wherein when a braking force is applied to the front and rear wheels when the controller receives the steering signal, the controller produces a signal to modulate the braking force to allow the front portion and rear portion of the machine to articulate without the machine moving forward.
