[QUOTE="averageguy54, post: 7069935, member: 112538"] They can. if used properly. Over here they have stages, you can engage different amounts of cylinders, depending on need. Their main purpose is to slow you down or stop you from gaining speed on a downhill.They are not designed to replace brakes. They keep brakes from getting overheated as much. Braking efficiency dramamtically decreases as they heat up. Icy conditions can defeat them when tires are not able to maintain sufficient friction with the road.an overloaded trailer with no brakes would be just as dangerous as the load would still be pushing while the tractor was trying to slow down. Speed, too, can reducwe their effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
