As a supplement to the previous answer, brake horsepower is the usable power an engine makes, in other words, the power available to turn the wheels. Engine horsepower is the power the engine can make without parasitic power losses such as power steering pump, fan blade, alternator and so on. Engine hp is often times 15% or so higher than the brake horsepower. With farm tractors the hp is measured PTO hp (power take off) or drawbar hp (the power available at the hitch after losses in the transmission, differential and so on).

About 80% of wobble issues, are caused by a tire problem. Mostly under inflated, or worn out tires. An unbalanced wheel, will cause your tire to ware out quickly. An unbalanced wheel will vibrate and feel wobbly all the time, not just when slowing down, or just using the back brake. When slowing down you transfer, more weight to the front tire. That would make a wobble of the front tire, more noticeable.
