The original post posed the possibility of towing without interconnecting the brakes. That's where the discussion progressed from.
I don't remember what the speed limit is for towing that load with out interconnecting the brakes but it should be in the M809 truck -10 and it was low, maybe 15...
Wow! Lots of scary thoughts from reading this thread!
No 5 ton truck has enough braking power to stop another "no brakes" 5 ton in anything resembling a panic stop. It's worse with lightly loaded trucks and no ABS.
Troubleshoot the towed vehicles brakes before towing it at more than a motor...
