    I still think for simplicity that the good old hydraulic over rider system is hard to beat.

    Easily maintained and you can turn it off if you need to.
    Got-ya, XR500 and No good names left like this.

    I think hydraulic override couplings are only allowed up to 2500kg, I think, could well be wrong.

    Correct, 2500kg max.
    There is a mechanical override drum brake system available rated to 3500kg. Same as on Ifor Willams trailers & the likes. Meets EU regs to 3500kg so applicable here in NZ too.

    Which is crazy. Disk brakes are so more effective than drums. They dispate heat so much better. Drums bloody overheat. Useless bloody things
