I have noticed that the hydraulic drum brakes on my 480 will stop it in about half the distance vs the mechanical brakes on my other carts. Same basic brakes, just controlled different. The 480 is heaver and runs over 35, yet has no problems stopping. I have had some close calls in the other carts now that i'm use to the 480's brakes. I had always thought front brakes would be great to have, now I don't even think about it now unless I mis-judge stopping with the mechanical brake carts.
