[QUOTE="dudders, post: 7208170, member: 19026"] You mean trailers have brakes? 😲 Admittedly many years ago, I was hauling loads of hay from field to farm, about 4 miles on the local B-road, with no brakes. Neither on the trailer nor the little grey Fergie... Up and down (gentle) hills, just controlled speed with the gears. Not a lot faster than walking pace, tbh. ;) Did years of hay carting round here, trailer loads of 120 small-bales behind the Ford 3000, trailers never had brakes then and I probably only used the tractor brakes to change down for the 1:6 descent to the farm entrance. Still proud of my rolling changedown from 5th to 4th in that tractor - that's 2 gearsticks to shift and no synchro, for those who don't know. Never tied a load down either, or lost a single bale. :cool: [/QUOTE]
