Fourteen mph is not enormously fast (an H will do about 18 at full-throttle without a load), but I would be concerned about braking with an F-12.

Automatic turning brakes means you seldom needed to touch the levers. F-14 levers would give you good braking, but you'd have to "steer" with your knees to use both brake levers. Problem at high speeds is EVEN braking, so tractor does not slue dangerously sideways.
