It is regulated state by state, but here in PA (and I think the rest of the 
nation) anything under 3,000 lbs does not need brakes. I know a few people 
who have them on 3,000 lb trailers, but that's optional and not required by 
law.

I'd check with the governmental agency that is in charge of such things if 
I were you. Don't trust someone who does not carry the item to tell you the 
truth on their legality!

PS, I haul my 15 HP Domestic (4,300 lbs. total weight) behind my F250 
without brakes on it. Don't take it real far--1,000 mi show is about the 
farthest I ever go with it. Probably should have brakes in it, but since 
it's a "dedicated trailer" there is no licence required for it, and thus no 
brakes are required.
