Forklift and heavy load equipment training tells us you are correct for two different reasons. The heaviest part of the load should always be uphill. The other reason is because your brakes are getting the most pressure on them if the trailer tongue is on the back of the tractor. Correct. I actually don't use any braking at all. I just hold it with the engine and the hydro going real slow. A lot safer that way since it uses tractor weight and resistance from engine and hydro. Stepping on the brake will disengage hydro and therefor engine resistance too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
