[QUOTE="njneer, post: 4787538, member: 65582"] Yes all air related systems are supplied from the Red Line. Really not keen on the whole practice to be honest as there is absolutely zero imposed load on the tractor drawbar , no weight being carried by the tractor. It's ok if the trailer brakes are well maintained and serviced but as we all know this is generally not the case then with minimal weight on the ground and lots of weight behind is a recipe for disaster. There is a thread in Agricultural matters forum " sobering thought for the day " Worth a read as it is sobering reminder of what can happen when cavalier attitudes,to what passes for people's idea of brakes and maintenance these days, culminates in a wholly avoidable accident. The "dolly is technically a trailer in its own right as it can be towed independently. When coupled to the trailer the trailer then " technically" becomes a second trailer ( like towing two silage trailers) . U.K. Legislation is that a second towed trailer cannot be loaded. There are a few silage squads have been found out on this by towing a trailer with the van on it behind a silage trailer , you can tow the trailer behind the trailer with the van on it but not the other way round. Some went down he road of doubling up silage trailers and towing the van with the spare tractor. Again not a fan of these set ups at all. I have worked first hand in MOT preparation on trucks and trailers and it is seriously strict criteria for a reason . [/QUOTE]
