For years I pulled a 621 with the trailer brakes locked out (Ranger 621s and 620s are actually pretty close in weight), after testing I couldn’t tell much difference. Never worried about insurance coverage...

Just be smart and allow extra distance depending on if you have the brakes locked out or not.

I usually agree with things you say but this is some really really bad advice. This is extremely dangerous. The brakes on the tow vehicle can easily be overheated and become useless. I have experienced the overheated brake fade on a tow vehicle before because of no trailer brakes and its not good. Sometimes there is no time. Please be safe and make sure your trailer brakes are in working order. Your life and others depend on it.
