my trailer is about 6 1/2 feet x 16' and has two 3500 lb axles. Does it need brakes? It usually hauls a load of cabinets or a side by side and a couple quads plus camping gear( on a good year add a couple elk on the ride home) I need to replace the braked axle and was considering eliminating them.

Some states require brakes on trailers over a certain gvw and some states require them on all axles. Better check with your state as to what the requirements are.
