I was traveling down the road with my tractor on my trailer minding my own business. All at once the trailer brakes locked up. This got my attention and every one else around me real fast. When the smoke cleared I was blocking my lane. In a short time I was able to pull the trailer off to the side of the road to let cars pass. After I sat there a short time the trailer was able to move but pulled a little hard. By time I got home it pulled ok. I had no idea what happened until I found the pin pulled out of the brakeaway switch. I guess it got tangeled up in the hitch some how and pulled out 1/2 way and fell out going down the road. Now one more thing to worry about. will it happen again? Has anyone else had this happen? Stan
