I have several F-series tractors with the automatic brakes and take them to shows. You have to turn the wheel pretty far to get the brake to engage. When I park the tractors I turn the wheels to lock the brake so if someone hits the hand brake and releases it the tractor still will not move. I could see a problem like you are talking about if the brakes were not ajusted right but at that point you would not be able to drive the tractor at all so it would take care of itself. With hand brakes the automatic brakes are nice to have. These tractors are so slow anyway that running over people is not a problem unless you do something really stupid. The biggest problem is someone running over you. I don't think you can idiot proof the world but think the government is trying to. Good Luck Fred.
