[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1128371, member: 16453"] In Australia just about all hauling of cattle is done with trucks. Everyone has a loading ramp. I have an Isuzu truck with a 6 metre (20') tray on it with a crate divided in two that clamps to the tray. It is easily removed by putting pipe through it and backing up onto sloping rack that lifts it off as you back up. It all takes about 30 min to do it. The GVM of my truck is 9500 kg (20900 lb), that gives me a load of about 5000kg (11000 lb). I guess it is all about what you are used to. I know that trailers have been well developed in the US and are very good but over here the cost of good trailers is prohibitive and we have higher fuel costs and very few people drive around in the likes of your big V8's. Good 2nd hand trucks can be picked up cheap add a crate and you are set. We have farm concession registration for trucks which makes it reasonable to have a truck. Ken [/QUOTE]
