Livestock Trailer - Comparison of Brands???

[UncleLA]

I'm looking at different brands of aluminum livestock trailers. Is anyone aware of any websites that might have side by side comparisons of the various brands?
Thanks.

Just do a search (google yahoo etc) on the individule brands. I used a 24' Barrett and the trailer seemed very good just didn't like the rear latch. For a $17000 trailer youd think it would have a slam latch on it. Barrett, Wilson and Featherlite are the three used around here the most.

No but I'll give you my opinion for what it's worth. I own a Featherlite and my father has an Eby. Both have features that are better than the other. I think the Eby is built a little tighter in the long run but some parts of it are not as user-friendly. The biggest complaints I have with the FL is the noise and the rear slider being on the inside. Once the poop gets piled up against it it's a bear. FL also preaches about their full rear skidplate, but I've already ripped mine in two. If I were to buy another one tomorrow it would come down to cost on identical models.

I have a Gooseneck Brand Aluminum Trailer.

It's a 1993 model I bought used a couple of years ago. Great shape. If I were buying a new tralier, I would have to look at them.
