Hi all.... I'm looking at a larger stock trailer...its an Eby...but its a 2000 all alluminum.
Question is, dealer said it has some welds done on the corners. I asked why...he said sometimes when people "overload" their trailer the cattle will push against the outsides stressing the joints. He said the welds looked really good (like the person knew what they were doing)...so, do I trust this? Its a pretty good price but I'm just curious. Don't think we'll ever stress it hard...just doing shows and such...not packing it to the limit. What do you think? I'm going to go back and look at it to see what he's talking about but do you all like your Eby's? Also, its got the bottom vent openings...do you like that or do you cover them up? Thought it would give me a good place to tie low but also is going to cause more blowing around of debris. Thanks for anyone's input...
