As TwistedHC said the problem is that you need enough grip on the trailer wheels to operate the release mechanism in the drums. If there isn't enough grip (if you're in mud or on wet grass) the brakes come on and simply lock up. It isn't a malfunction with the brakes, simply a shortcoming with the design of auto-reverse. It's a major PITA and a problem we never used to have before Johnny Europe said we had to have auto reverse brake.

 

There is usually some way to rig an old-fashion reverse stop on the coupling like the one we used before auto reverse.

 

Alternatively buy yourself a Mog and use a trailer with coupled air brakes!
