I'm in Scotland and am curious to know what the law is in the US about hauling trailers with, say, a road vehicle to transport a tractor. Here there are vehicle towing limits that mustn't be exceeded. My understand is that here trailers above 3.5 tons gross weigh need air brakes. Over-run brakes are the norm below that. Trailers under 750kg gross don't need brakes. There are NO 5th wheel pickup type units around. Electrically operated brakes are unacceptable here but popular in US I gather. Trailer width limit here is 2.3m for any towing vehicle under 3.5 tons or 2.55m for anything above that. Trailer length limit is 7m excluding drawbar. I see some massive rigs on links from this site in US and wonder what you guys are allowed to do.
