    I'm thinking of changing my 12X6 IW with decks for a new Easyload model. I got a quote from Wales today of £4,500 + VAT and a friend of mine will bring it over. What is the price here or up North for such a trailer. Is there any alternative brand with easy-to-use sheep decks?

    I was looking at trailers there a while back.
    For what it's worth, I thought the Hudson was a far stronger trailer than the Ifor Williams.

    We got a trailer from Jim Murphy in Tuam there a couple of years back, can't remember the price (easy know I didn't pay for it). Might be worth giving them a ring. It's a gift for sheep, you can put up the deck ramp with one arm.

    Dan what was the issue with the ifors, are porter trailers made up north? how would you rate nugents and hudson, have an old bateson trailer for years, would like to update her at some point but dont have massive use so couldnt justify a new one

    I dont think ifors are built near as well as they used to be very flimsy build quality and inferior steel imo, they get worn and tired v quickly but i dont mind the hudsons either their a better trailer than the ifors anyway as pakalasa said earlier, In fairness the oul Batesons were a feckin mighty oul trailer too i remember one i had years ago was a mighty strong oul yoke but a fecker t tow near the end cos there wasnt 2 wheels lined up an all the bands were loose:D Heres a link t Temple trailers they have a nice lookin s/h porter for sale, oh ya Porter trailers are made up north in Castlederg Co. Tyrone

    Look at Hamilton trailers in Cooskstown... best trailers bar none on the market. They also have a patented deck system... You would want to be doing a lot of work though to justify the price...

    Good trailers too but chronic expensive, you would really need to be making daily use of a trailer to justify one...
