On our way to Alabama after Katrina hit. We were full of fuel, food, chain saws, etc.

Here's one of Dads.
I'd avoid alluminum if you ever plan to pull it around the ranch or farm. They don't last out here without frequent trips to the welding shop :frown5:.
Maybe some do but FeatherLites sure don't.

We have an 1984 24ft Barrett. It's aluminum and has been awesome. If you are gonna off road a lot with it I'm with 01duramax but ours has been basically flawless.
 
1985 Circle J. 24-ish feet bumper to tounge (special ordered longer so we could fit 5 horses in when the situation called for it). Downside....sucker weighs almost 5,000lbs empty, but it's one heck of a strong trailer.

Dad bought new and I'm the owner now. Original floor, still in excellent shape. We always hosed out the bottom after hauling critters. Only last year has it developed some small cancer rust in a couple spots. Not life threatening but I do need to fix it before it gets worse. It's been a "U-haul moving trailer" on many occasions...pianos, furniture, lumber. Also been on some interesting mountain jeep trails, sunk into mud up to the axles, been backed off an earthquake fault line (that was an interesting day :eek6: )

Oh ya, and moving hay :biggrinjester:

I will get some pics on my next R and R.
 
Bought this lovely last summer. 18 foot Kiefer Built, 1976 model. It had two layers of floor which I ripped out and replaced. Some rust on the sides but the underneath is sound. Don't need much to haul a couple cattle and hogs to the locker a few times a year.

We have a Steel 98 Kiefer Built Horse Trailer for my sister's stupid horses, and if i ever get some cattle for them, too. It was a 4 horse trailer, but we converted the front stall to a storage area, since we only have 3 horses, and it is usually only 1, sometimes 2 that go along, and we need more room for hay and stuff for the Cty. fair, since they have to stay all 3 days, and we don't want to make anymore trips than we have to, since it is 35 miles one way. I don't have a decent picture right now, but it is taller and longer than the diesel, and it pulls hard, since it weighs 3000+ lbs.
