Have you tried riding the trailer brake awhile? New trailers brakes sometimes need to be worked in before they will grab.
When we picked up the trailer the brakes weren't working at all on the trailer. Even pulling the breakaway cable didn't do a thing because they were so far out of adjustment. Today I picked it up after having the brakes adjusted and that is when it seemed to still be very weak. So for practical purposes, today was the first time the brakes have even been used.
Maybe they will get better with some mileage on them? I did take it for a short ride again tonight and it seemed to grab slightly better, but nowhere near locking them up.
