Steve,

Yes they can pull 3.5 tonne, but you MUST have a breaking system on the trailer, for obvious reasons.

i was taking that for granted as legally they have to be braked over a certain weight dont they?

Thanks

Steve

yep - they go from mechanical overide (above 750kg) to full breakaway system (vac or electric) above a certain weight - might be 2 tonn cant recall.

Cheers

750k+g Mechanical overide, 1 axle of a 2 axle combination.
2000kg+Brakes on both axles with a breakaway system installed.
I keep my boat under 2 ton for a reason:D
