    it may be blue too. Yellow ore blue glad hand - control. Red is supply. Sometimes with da,aged control line emergency valve does not lock the trailer brakes and trailer may loose brakes.

    Onece I get the same situation and when I pressed brake pedal air came out the glad hand and no brakes till I pulled red button holding the yellow with hands to apply trailer spring brake only and not to loose control with locked drive axes

    Came to think of this

    Test last year, 90t totalt, 30m. Just the other way around, even a little bit of reversing ;)

    Edit:

    Found an English one

    Btw: Have to say I'm impressed by tandem. Haven't even used the difflocks yet and it was just ice for 300km today. The tires might also help, quite amazing grip in them.

    In CIS we use this kind of trailer with US tructors, to avoid axe overload
