BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Tow Loads Safely Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load. Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower: If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow loads more than 1.
