Hey there Mohan. The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs #e37YR you were looking at already has an idler hub on it which is not setup for brakes. You would need to replace the axle with something like…
Hey Scott! I recommend using the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS381-8067. Hydrastar is a reliable, proven brand so it will serve you well. Then for brake lines you can use the Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit -…
Hello Brady, thanks for reaching out. The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin #FA80-01-2204 will work with breakaways from Fastway and Bargman. I don't have a complete list of all the part numbers but it should work with any…
Hey Jeff. We have all of those parts, and I have listed them below, but no there is no one and done kit for a 20' farm trailer's brakes and lights. 7-Way Connector and Junction Box - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long item…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
Hey Trevor! You don't need to add a trailer battery to use the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack #e72QV. The jack has its own 7-way plug that connects directly to your tow vehicle for power, so it is a really nice option for an enclosed trailer like…
Hi Jim, the honest answer is that there isn’t a direct replacement or rebuild kit still available for the TDE LP8000, so the right path forward is to replace the entire actuator, which typically means cutting the old one off and installing a new…
When aligning tandem axles you simply want to make sure you are aligning them so they are square to the trailer frame. The easiest way to do this is with a simple measurement from the center of the trailer frame to the to the center of the wheel on…
Hi Don, Based off the measurements of your current equalizer being 5 5/8" center to center, I wouldn't recommend using the MORryde CRE3000 because it's over an inch longer than your current equalizer. Having an equalizer that's…
While I was unable to confirm who manufacturers the Defender 2 brake away system on your 2021 Big Tex 60EC. I do agree that the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit #3802346 does look identical minus the decal and they have the same wiring…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
The Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS481-8067 is designed to be completely plug-and-play so the female end of the 7-way would need to connect to the 7-way cable that's already installed on the trailer…
Ready for a straightforward safety upgrade? A trailer breakaway kit in kit only form lets you wire into the 12-volt auxiliary power for a maintenance charge, ground to the frame, and run the switch lead to the brakes. Some kits include onboard charging, while others rely on the tow vehicle. When properly charged, the batteries can power electric over hydraulic brakes during a breakaway.
Mount the box to a solid section of the frame and ground directly to clean metal. Some boxes are larger than the batteries, so add padding or a spacer to prevent the batteries from moving. Charge and test the system after installation by pulling the breakaway pin briefly to confirm the brakes engage, then reinsert the pin to release.
Most charge from the trailer's 12v auxiliary power while connected to the tow vehicle. Some kits include an onboard charger that helps maintain the batteries. If the battery is fully discharged, use an external charger to bring it back to an operating charge. Verify your kit's charger type and connect the positive lead to the 12v power in the junction box and the ground to the frame.
Run the 12v power lead to the trailer's auxiliary power so the battery can maintain a charge, ground the white wire to the frame, and connect the blue wire to the breakaway switch. A separate fuse isn't typically needed since the vehicle's 12v circuit is protected. If your kit has multiple batteries, follow the included diagram for their connections.
Yes, a breakaway kit can power an electric over hydraulic setup. Make sure the batteries are charged and wire the switch to the actuator's brake circuit per the actuator's instructions. Confirm solid grounds and use the trailer's 12v auxiliary power for maintenance charging. Test the breakaway switch after install to verify the actuator applies the brakes.
