Brakes on the front axle only would actually be the best case in that scenario.

??? How would brakes on front axle only be better than brakes on all axles? My figuring is that, with brakes on all axles, the break-away system has you covered, no matter how the trailer is loaded.

Much like with a tandem axle trailer with brakes only on the rear axle going forwards.

Brakes on the rear axle only isn't even an option, as far as I've seen. I don't think that's done anywhere.

Trailers usually come from the factory with brakes on front axle only. When shipped to dealers in states requiring brakes on all axles (e.g. Pennsylvania), the dealer has to buy the additional axle brake kit from the manufacturer, as this is usually a dealer-installed option.

Dang right!

I'd say that one wins the thread today!

This one is a very close for 2nd place. Not only does this guy tow wrong running a red light, after the dash cam goes thru the light look to the RIGHT SIDE afterwards !

I did have one calf that refused to be caught in the bottom pasture and put in a pen for sale. Caught her in the upper pasture (big rodeo) tied the snot out her, winched onto a trailer, drove her to the pen and dragged her butt into the pen before untying her. Was pretty P.O. by then. She went to a new home the next morning.

You gotta wonder what farmer doesn't own a 3/4 ton truck. Or is this tractor going to suburban lawn duty?

Brakes on the rear axle only isn't even an option, as far as I've seen. I don't think that's done anywhere.

Trailers usually come from the factory with brakes on front axle only.

Brakes on only one axle is obviously not as good as having them on both, but on a typical leaf sprung trailer, if there's only brakes on one axle it should be the rear one.

I've bought one trailer with the braked axle in the wrong (front) position, and before the ordered axle arrived I quickly found out why I'd never seen them on the front before - the brakes locked up as the front axle lifted and planted the rear one.

If the trailer has torsion axles it probably doesn't matter as much, except that the tow vehicle will likely nose down a bit under hard braking - so it's still better to have the brakes on the rear axle (if only one has brakes).

Mandir = Temple = Church?

Oh! Since all of our trailers in PA have brakes on all axles, I have never actually seen one set up with brakes on only one axle. Surprising to me it's on the rear, thinking that most vehicles transfer their weight onto the front axle when stopping, but I guess this is a unique peculiarity of dual leaf spring setups?

But then it seems it'd be even worse for the break-away scenario, since most trailers are tongue-heavy and lighter in the rear, when properly loaded. If only the rear axle has the brakes, seems it could just be locking up the rear tires without much hope of actually stopping a run-away trailer if it comes un-hooked on the highway.
