fünffüßiges Bremsen

English translation: soft/light/gentle braking

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: fünffüßiges Bremsen
Bremswirkung zu abrupt, kein fünffüßiges Bremsen möglich.
Again, this is talking about a tractor. I can only find 'iambic' for 'fünffüßiges' in the sense of iambic pentameter. Any ideas?
