    Thanks all for the swift replies. I know I often brought 4 bullocks to the factory in a 12" and it was a struggle.
    The trailer is like New and brakes working. Two of the cows are pushing a tonne each and two smaller ones of 750kgs or more.
    It sounds Like a big load to me!

    that sounds like everyday to allot of people:rolleyes:
