[QUOTE="killie_cowboy, post: 8157278, member: 169777"] Unless theres something I've missed out some of you are missing how air brakes actually work. Theres a strong spring pressing the rod out the actuator onto the brake lever, the red line then pressurises one section of the brakes to compress this spring and let your trailer move, this is why your trailer doesnt move when parked and why you need to wait for air to build before you move so it doesnt matter if theres a leak, your trailer isnt going anywhere. There is then another section within the actuator which your yellow service hose feeds and this is your on demand braking. Something I have wondered though is how the push to shunt actually works. We dont have as of yet any air braked trailers on the farm though we have a Redrock tanker ordered with them so shall see how that goes and will possibly put a kit on the 12 ton Marshall silage cart if its worth it.
