My back wheel locked up on my mine so I drug it till came free. I don't think my breaks work anymore. Just towed it 2 plus hours without smoke so all is good. This winter I will remove what is left in there.

I may go back to trailer brakes later on, but for now, upgraded (cross-drilled and slotted) rotors on the truck and braking a little earlier are workin' great...there's NO QUESTION that with brakes, it'll slow/stop faster than w/out, so just gotta be more alert to conditions out front...see Oconee Deputy in Off Topic for more on that

DITTO!

I went to pull the boat to the lake and the drums were locked up. I disabled it and never looked back.
