I agree with the recommendation for electric brakes. That's what I have.

Recently rented a mini excavator with surge brakes on their trailer. Going down a hill in the rain, put on the brakes and just started sliding. Since the surge brakes only work when the pulling truck pushes back, I basically had no brakes and barely made it out of that situation.

Electric brakes will let you adjust the amount of braking force irrespective of your pulling truck's brakes.
Good luck,
