Unified tow brake question
I have a US Gear unified tow brake. How hard are the brakes applied in the toad when you press the lever on the controller in the MH? Can you lock up the brakes on the toad?

Exactly. Applying the toad brakes without the mh brakes is not recommended. Just way too much weight for the toad to try and brake. In addition, you never want the brakes to lock up...you just lose traction that way.....that's why most have ABS.
I have adjusted my control module on high one time (inadvertently) and within a mile, I had the toad brakes billowing smoke. Tires weren't locked up, but boy were they hot. FWIW, I only felt a very slight tug on the mh.
I usually leave my control set for about 2...that way the toad isn't trying to stop the mh, but under full braking conditions (emergency stop), I get full braking from the toad.
