The trailer weight is 1200lb and a yard of the soil is about 3000lbs. So I'm pulling well over 4000lbs. Stopping is a problem, the trailer has no brakes. So since the TM has brakes that should be a good experence for me. Thanks again!

You obviously are not in California. California requires trailer brakes on all non camper trailers with a capacity greater than2,400 pounds.
The weight limit is lower for camper trailers. I have no idea why.
I have accidentally tested what happens when I brake hard enough to engage the trucks ABS while executing a stop from 45 mph. I was impressed with the result.
