I agree with Seakindly. You should be using a trailer rated for at least 4600 lbs GVWR for safe trailering. Massachusetts does require brakes on at least one axle for trailers over 3000 lbs I believe although they are not that strict on the requirement. When it comes time to replace my trailer, I would like to upgrade to a tandem axle too. Probably best to spring for the stainless disc brakes if you're considering brakes. I had galvanized drum brakes on my 6000 lb trailer for the Grady and they F'd up a couple of times even though I flushed them every trip and the trailer was brand new. I ended up disableing them after the second time.
