Air brakes are better and more safe, that is why they are on trucks/trailers so the trailer always can break no matter what to avoid accidents. while if you break a hose and air run out, it automatic brake and you wont be able to move the trailers until you repair and refill air. The big difference air brackes vs hydraulic is if you blow a hose the fluid run out and you cannot break the trailers.

Its just like with Lorry/trucks with trailers they also have a max length, except if they have special permition to attach more trailers or transport very wide load.Īlso remember a tractor is not a truck and drive both offroad and on solid road = braking distance and terrain is different and not all tractors have airbrakes with the build in security that add ( if no air, brakes cannot release ) its typical only the larger tractors who have airbrakes now a days, while example 0-200hk have hydraulic brakes. Now a days the tractors and one trailer is pretty long, so there is not that much free length that you can even attach an extra trailer legaly behind trailer 1 so there is no point of having a trailer hook on the back of most big modern trailers except if you want to use a chain to pull something or move example the combines "header" from a-b in the field or something. The main reason why few trailers do not allow you to connect two trailers after the tractors is due to international law that say there is a max length and total weight that you are not allowed to extend. YOU CAN drive with 3-4-5 trailers BUT only on private property and not on public road. You can however specificly ask for such extention to be installed on your new trailer in some cases but it will cost extra and might not be avaliable anyway. Reason why not all trailers can pull example two trailers after each other is basicly due to how it was designed by the manufactor since not all people have such a demand or need.

The drawback to the trailers with a front steering axle is that they are much harder to back up and have them go where you want, but you need the front steering axle for the extra trailers in a train. What you could also do, if you don't want the front trailer to have the steering axle is use a trailer with a ball hitch, like this one for the front trailer.

You can see in the pics how they attach together. This one is just the trailers with the a-frame tongue and front steering axle. There are many others and you can mix & match the manufacturers, so these are just examples of what you can find in game. These are mods on the in-game mod hub and they illustrate what you're looking for in trailers. Maybe the best way to explain is to show: There aren't adapters, they're separate trailers and you need to make sure when you buy them that they do have the hitch attached to the back.
