Trailer Braking

That is spot on. I used to tow combine headers around in the states and the trailer unladen was next to no weight in comparison to a full size stripper header on the back.
The electric system coped with this perfectly.
Although you soon knew if you forgot to adjust from laden to empty. Picture locked up rear brakes swinging around on the first coroner!
I thought the system was really good but not really allowed here in UK.

Again, learning as I go, but this article seems to suggest that these systems are OK in the UK, provided they are not manually operated and meet minimum response times:
