[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 7965765, member: 1233"] Trailers up to 750kg GW don’t need brakes, trailers up to 3560 kg can have overrun brakes. You can go to 4070 kg without brakes if the trailer was built before 1/7/1947 and only up to speeds of 10 mph. It is acceptable ( although probably not recommended ) for the brakes to work on two wheels if the trailer has not more than 4 wheels. As the log carrier in question weighs 720 kg empty and 6000 kg loaded it wouldn’t count as an ag trailed appliance as it is easily over the twice as heavy laden as it is unladen rule so would have to comply with ag trailer rules. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
