Do I need brakes on my new Homesteader trailer?

All tandem axle trailers built by Homesteader come equipped with 4-wheel electric brakes. Single axle trailers, however, have brakes as optional equipment. According to the size of your tow vehicle and the weight of your cargo, you may decide that brakes would be a good option for you. Of course, brakes provide greater stopping power that might be needed for your load conditions.
