The speed of the trailer is reduced at the same rate as the tractor without risk of trailer deviation.

The Case IH Advanced Trailer Brake System monitors and recognises driving conditions and, when engaged, automatically stabilises the tractor using the trailer brakes. Whenever the driver requests a speed decrease, either via the Multicontroller or by releasing the drive pedal, the system estimates the deceleration force required by comparing the target vehicle speed with the actual speed. It then adjusts the braking force applied with a measurement of transmission input torque, based on the flywheel torque sensor and Engine Control Unit data.
This information is used to calculate and apply the appropriate pressure needed to balance the deceleration force on the tractor with the momentum exerted by the trailer. Aligning the deceleration of the trailer with that of the tractor ensures that both remain stable, optimises braking performance and maximises safety.
The 35 kph speed threshold allows the driver to make minor speed adjustments when travelling on the road without the trailer brakes being applied. If the system is activated excessively they will be alerted by audible and visual warnings. Additionally, to avoid overheating and fading of the brakes, the system applies pulsated braking power and adds a short break after five seconds.
"This is an extremely important feature which Case IH are able to offer that is not available from any other manufacturer. In addition to enhancing safety, it will also provide operators with much greater peace of mind when working with heavy trailed equipment in difficult conditions.”
