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'm sure there are many others. I've got three Fords with internal dry expanding shoe brakes and not very good. Same goes for my Ferguson TO35 and MF35 (but they're not in great shape).
I CAN tell you what had the worst manual brakes, even when brand-new. 1010 Deere wheel tractor.
