I had my brakes inspected and the bearing hand packed a month ago. After three seasons my mechanic says I should put brakes on next year.

This is for 21 trips and 7500 miles.

fwiw, my mechanic says that it is cheaper to replace the brakes on the trailer than on the truck. Therefore, it becomes tempting in some circumstances to manually engage the TM brakes and not use the truck brakes. I'm not sure I believe that, but it is what he said.
