I have a tandem trailer with freebacking brakes and I need to replace

freebacking brakes or just a standard brake set?

It sems to me that I had a lot of problems with my brakes sticking
this season and I'm wondering if it has been due to having
freebacking brakes? Do they tend to stick and jam more than standard
brakes?

Hydraulic trailer brakes require a properly maintained and adjusted
backup solenoid circuit to disable trailer brakes while backing.
This works off the reverse gear lamp circuit.

If working good, no problems.

Else, problems.
