I found the manual for the brake controller I have. I might need to set it up properly. Will see if that helps. This model isn't top of the line but I think it should work out ok. Running the heavier wire and running a ground back to the truck is worth the extra little bit of money to do it. It avoids so many wiring headaches in the future.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Bear, was just thinking about something.. can you post a pic of your brakes and the orientation to the front of the trailer?Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
The reason I went with the Kubota BX25 was the backhoe. I have a Toro Zero turn for mowing and it works much better than a Tractor. The Kubota with a backhoe was right at $22K. I probably use the backhoe more than the front loader. I have a thumb on it and I pick up fallen tree's to buck up, railroad ties, large boulders, digging out huge oak tree stumps..(granted it takes a long time - would rather have an excavator LOL) pulling down ropes or other stuff. I also made up a receiver hitch that I attached to the bucket and tried to move my 20' steel car hauler trailer but going down the little hill it pushed the Kubota all over. I had to pick up a load of dirt in the front loader to add front ballast. I use the front loader for spreading gravel and moving dirt from one pile to another and just general hauling like firewood but that's about it. I haven't run into lack of power issues but you can always want/need move hydraulic lifting power. The backhoe arm is much more powerful than the FEL. My 2cts.
