    Thinking of a new sheep trailer, 12 x 5'10, there's so many different makes but obviously price will have a major bearing, is there any makes to definitely avoid ?

    Don't rush in, take your time & remember the following
    There will be a time when you have to fill a full load on a dark cold wet night on your own with nobody about for miles.

    We have the IW, just because of the decks & easy load ramp, think lots more have them now.

    Saw lots over the years try lifting silly weights to close decks & hurt their backs

    Have a 12x5"10 ifor Williams here and a 14x6 Hudson... ifor Williams is a lot easier pulled there a lighter trailer than the Hudson frame wise but the side sheeting on the if or Williams seems heavier than the Hudson as u see a lot off Hudsons with dents from cattle pushing and kicking the sides.
