I don't know that you'll be able to find, or be
very happy with, an hydraulic to hydraulic brake system. Much better, but not
simple to manage, is an hydraulic-electric hybrid such as the now-obsolete
Kelsey-Hayes hydraulic brake controller. They can be found, just not easily.
They offer true 'proportional' braking to the trailer's electric brakes. The
controller uses hydraulic pressure 'tee'd' off from the tow-vehicle's master
cylinder, and converts it to electric current fed to the trailer's brakes. It's
also useful to have some sort of large resistor to 'tune' the brakes to the
trailer's brakes.
Much much MUCH easier is the Jordan Research Ultima
2020 we've been talking about for the last year or so on this list... true
proportional control, and you don't need to tap into the tow vehicle's brake
system.
If you check the archives at www.tompatterson.com ('search site')...
keywords 'Kelsey-Hayes' or 'Hydraulic Brake Controller', many of your
questions will be answered.
