If you consider that across the two front wheels, they have to do the job of stopping most of the momentum of 1500kg traveling at any given speed, with the rear brakes just there for stability really, there will be a lot of resistance on the front brakes even if they're only slightly on.
It will of course wear the pads pretty quickly as well.
I'm surprised you didn't feel the steering pulling to whichever side was stuck?
