A method is disclosed for controlling brake forces of a working machine, the working machine including a frame and two front wheels and two rear wheels mounted to the frame, the working machine further including a front wheel brake arranged to brake at least one of the front wheels, and a rear wheel brake arranged to brake at least one of the rear wheels, the front wheel brake being controllable independently of the rear wheel brake, and vice versa, the working machine further including an implement connected to the frame so as to be movable in relation to the frame. The method includes determining a position of the implement in relation to the frame, and distributing the brake forces between the front and rear wheel brakes at least partly based on the determined implement position.
