[QUOTE="Rich, post: 477307, member: 7477"] Yea, I do have one last thought and this has just irked the living hell out of me ever since the steel trlr mfgs started doing this to eliminate inside fender skirting. That last 4" makes all the difference in the world and especially with bigger cows. I don't know what breeds you run but we have been using the simme angus hereford cross for several years now with being dominant black mainly now. That last 4" the cattle can stand crossways. Now with that new 6'8" width they stand at an angle crossways. I do not like it. They load harder now too. That last one cow or last two calves used to go in so easy and now we are hunting and pushing for the room because bossy's aren't fitting in there perpendicular like they used to. Me, I can't pencil the extra for an aluminum no more hauling than I do and I also was against it because I cannot weld aluminum nor am I set up to weld it (proper equipment). That is my biggest holdback. I do all my own repair work as I can. Also, alot of guys that run the aluminum in my neck of the woods told us to leave them alone because the country road we bounce crack them and beat them up severe. Worse than a steel trailer. If Money is not an option and you are going to be mainly blacktop, I would for certain not exclude an aluminum of any kind as long as it was at least 7' wide. Trailer Mfg's just don't realize what a mess they have made for us by making the manufacturing of that trailer easier for them eliminating the inside fenders. That is my only gripe and beech about the two steel ones we have currently. We have owned Hillsboro and Circle D in the past. Hillsboro I have no complaints. Circle D on the other hand, mickey mouse latches and cheap hinges that always need rewelded. BTW......Are you getting a spare wheel and tire at the price your listing? Comparing to what I could of bought a wood floor one for this summer vs. my rumber floor I have now, For what you are paying, you should be getting a spare. No matter what company you go through. I don't think you will be regretful of whatever choice you make. We got to the dealer and I let my 8 year old daughter pick it out.........That tells you how worried I was.... LOL. [/QUOTE]
