Your setup works very well!
I've tried to build a "super-steering" too, but in my case I was inspired by
the Linde forklifts:

So, after playing with pieces for some hour ;-), I came to this: it works
like the typical forklift steering, with that lovely ackermann correction
that makes the forklift move, even if it approaches 90 degrees steer:

In fact, the 4-wheel forklift have (usually) front wd - but sometimes
hackermann correction isn't sufficent and the steering wheels slip,
expecially on smooth surfaces.
This setup iis just a work-in-progress, so the forklift won't see the light
until I will have some time to complete it. It's mainly a bit smaller and a
mechanically improved version of this one:

I wait to see your tractor completed :-)
