Will EOH Disc Brakes Work Better for 3,500 lb Axle than Drum Brakes
Question:
I own a snowmobile trailer with a 3500lbs axel. Have electric brakes on it and it seems every year I have to put a new brake kit on it. I was wondering if I should put electric over hydraulic on this axel? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Disc brake setups are all around better than drum brakes so if you were looking for a setup that's going to last longer and also work a lot better investing in an electric over hydraulic disc setup for your trailer would be a great option. To do that you would want the part # HBA16-252-82 for all of the hydraulic and electric components and then for the brake kit for your axle you would want the part # K2HR35D which fits a 3,500 lb axle and you'd be set.
