Hi, recently I have purchased dumper trailer. Thanks all who helped me choose. Here is the previous thread Dumper trailer choice
Some of you also recommended getting brakes, so it got me thinking, and I really want them now :) Wheels of the trailer are really small. Look at the image attached. Russell King suggested to look at this page and it was really useful because I think I was able to track them and I think they are of a this kind: https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Tires_and_Wheels-pc-8_Inch.aspx
But I couldn't find brakes for such small wheels https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Brakes.aspx
I was aiming at electrical brakes, but would be happy with any I guess. I searched the internet and couldn't find much except that such wheels are used on ATVs.
And then I managed to find this:
Can you tell if this would work for my case? And what else do I need? It looks like these brakes should connect to some kind of a brake cable?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. So I need both? Hub and drum assembly as well as brakes? Sorry I am completely clueless about this. I guess the first is like a cup within which there are brakes? It says 7" in the title (diameter of the drum I guess) but in description it says it is for Wheel size: 10" to 13". Would that would work for 8" wheel, which I THINK my is?

Yes you buy the hubs and then the brake setup to match.
If the inside of the rim is too small then you would need to go to a larger rim size to accommodate the brake drum.
You would also need to check the spindle size and length to make sure it matches what you need.

Out of curiosity, why do you think you need trailer brakes ? Is it for pulling the trailer behind your tractor or vehicle ? Would you prefer electric or hydralic ?
