I almost got killed coming down a very steep hill on a 3020 with a worn-out SynchroRange trans. Popped out of gear, engine stalled, absolutely no steering and no brakes. I jumped off just before the tractor crashed. Hit the road sideways and snapped both my legs in two. Almost lost my right leg forever. So, I know what you mean.
Of all my tractors with manual brakes, my IH B-275s ,B-414s and 3414 work the best. Almost as good is my Case 580CK of VAC. Both those brands have round disk brakes actuated by balls.

I CAN tell you what had the worst manual brakes, even when brand-new. 1010 Deere wheel tractor.
