A construction machine (11) is provided with individual wheel brakes (36, 37, 38, 39), a pair of drive axles (17, 21) equiped with differential locking mechanisms, an electronic control module (90) connected in controlling relation to the brakes (36, 37, 38, 39) and differential locking mechanisms and wheel speed sensors (84, 85, 86, 87), and an articulation sensor (88) connected in input relation to the electronic control module (90). The machine operator may choose traction control by wheel braking or differential lock-up, or both. If both are selected, the control module (90) locks up the differential if the articulation angle is less than a predetermined number of degrees, and if the articulation angle is greater than a predetermined number of degrees the control module (90) unlocks the differential (33, 34) and individually brakes any overspeed wheel commensurate with the articulation angle. |
