I have an case ih mx270 have just got a trailed fert spreader with hydraulic brakes thinking it would be good to have them working off the foot brake hydraulic circuit. This is an option but not fitted to my tractor, has anyone retrofitted hydraulic brakes for trailed implements is it a big job cost ect. Or possibly just run trailer brakes off hydraulic remote circuit and not have the slack adjusters on the s cams wound on to hard ?

You should be able to get a retro fit trailer brake valve and hydraulic lines through the case dealer to bolt straight on. Trailer brakes usually work off one pedal. That is the best way to do it.

Thanks kiwiclaas looked at parts break up and hopefully can plumb straight into hydraulic block for the brakes

some tractors already have the hydraulic lines in place, all that might be needed is a valve plummed into the brake lines that sense brakelines pressure and send a proportional amount of pressure to the brake cylinders. installation on my NH 7040 was easy. on my 6030 the internal lines weren't put on in the factory so i didn't bother with it for that tractor.
