I’ve got a Delco 16’ gooseneck cattle trailer.
No complaints, seems to well made, and was less expensive than Gooseneck brand.
Corn Pro is another trailer brand I like.
 
I've had a 28' Delco cattle trailer for 12 or so years. Been good trailer with no issues. Are you looking at a bumper pull or gooseneck? I've got an Iron Bull 24' gooseneck car hualer that was made by Delco. It's been good trailer also. I'll take a few pics of it.The Delco factory is about 30 miles from us.
 
We’ve got a 6’8” x 16’ Delco bumper pull stock trailer. I believe build quality on this one is as good as I’ve ever seen. Very heavy built but pulls great. I never thought I’d really like a bumper pull stock trailer this big but this one has changed mind. I bet you’d like it.

Thanks. I agreed on the BP 16' cattle trailers.

Bought this to move the skid steer with but it's been loaned out more than I've ever used it. If you ever buy a trailer with a deck on the neck make sure it's removable. I'd use this trailer more but the deck is so close to my cube box I can't turn. Making it removable is another thing on the long to do list.

Probably stick with a bumper pull if I buy new. I hate losing my bed to a gn unless I have to. Just need room, not hauling any thing realy heavy.

I've owned two gooseneck flatbeds with decks on the necks, never again.
 
Last year we bought a 28' Load Trail low pro deck over gooseneck with tandem duals and mega ramps. It's a really nice trailer and pulls really good. Probably the only equipment trailer a person needs. We looked at 32' but since 75% of our trailer use is with the 6.2 gas went with the 28'. That and the last two places we bought hay from I would've had a hard time getting a 32' in there.
 
I've got two flatbeds, one 34' LoadTrail dual wheel tandem with a deck over the neck and an 8' hydraulic beaver tail which I hardly ever use, and a Keiffer 30' mono-beam like is pictured below, with single wheel tandems, a manual 5' beaver tail, and flip over ramps. I very much appreciate that MONO-BEAM open neck... You can get up in the bed along side of it without banging your head on an A-frame type of neck... and then that big trailer with that deck-over neck is just a royal pain on top of it.. just like a GN stock trailer with the "box" up over the hitch (I've got an aluminum GN stock trailer too). All you can do then is crawl in under it on your hands and knees... Which is why I so appreciate this mono-beam trailer! I think I've only used that deck-over-neck part like 5 times... and usually, with 34' of main deck space, I can put more load on there than I ought to be hauling anyway. My mono-beam Kieffer is also a "lighter weight rating" trailer too... making it just all around easier to work with, although many of the loads that I end up hauling end up well above the weight rating... which is why I bought that heavier trailer. I much prefer the flip over ramps to the hydraulic beaver tail (just flip and load, simple and fast... and there's alot more maintenance/battery, etc. on that hydraulic system... but it's nice when it's working).

But just about everything that I haul, including 5x6 hay bales, goes on this mono-beam trailer, because of its convenience. Those Kieffer flip over ramps also allow me to place bales right on the beaver tail when it's in the lowered position, because their ramp supports stick up when they're flipped up onto the beaver tail. I can set two bales SxS right against those ramp supports, and they act as a "backstop", so the bales can't roll off the back end (no need to tie them down at all then). I typically haul 14-5x6 bales on it at a time (10 on the bottom, 4 in a single wide row across the top)... trailer is rated at 14,000#... so every load is overweight. But it just works so much better, and easier than that big heavy 30,000# trailer, and I'm not usually hauling farther than a few miles. You want to make sure you've got good tires on it though, if you're overloading like that.

I like those full width trailers with the drive over fenders. You're pulling 8-1/2' wide axles anyways, so why not be able to use the space?

I thought the same thing.

Ordered winch cover off Amazon. Thats always fun to see what shows up. Been looking at some bridle straps and the inserts to go in the rails for removable sides.

The place that did it posted pics on fb and they got a lot of comments on the winch being up like that. Most people want them low for cars.
 
I bought a Load Trail dump trailer off of "The Trailer Guys" in Bonham, TX about 10 years ago. It was in April or May of that particular year and I was shocked at how the green there was so different than our green, more yellowish tint to it. Would like to see more of the area someday.

Ya a lot of the grasses are more of a yellow, brown, or even almost maroon in some cases. Its takes certain stuff like winter grasses or fert fields to get a deep green.

We are also in a bad drought right now so that doesnt help. We finally had 0.5-1.5" the past couple days.

I ended up getting a trailer but not a Delco. Got this one at a good price. I guess most people dont like the width so they were having a hard time moving it. Its like 102" by 20', 14k axles. Had the winch and box added. Played with it yesterday a little. I like it so far.

I'd guess you meant two-7000# axles, yes. That trailer doesn't look like it'd be rated for 28,000#. Pull out ramps I assume?

That would have been my comment too... Up high like that puts alot of strain on your mount frame, because of the leverage. To avoid that, you could maybe mount a pulley down low, and run your cable straight down, around the pulley, and then back to your load, if it could potentially be a problem with a heavy load. You could even just have one on a chain, that you can use when desired... like a block and tackle, to help minimize that leverage effect on the winch frame.

I wanted it that high. We ran a string from there to the end of the ramps. Its set up to skid things up the ramps. I didnt want to fight every thing digging in trying to load. Like tou said, there are things you can do to move it down but it's hard to move up. It really shouldn't do any real hard pulling but you never know. If it gets ripped off I'll have it rebuilt different. LoL
