Eastern NE KS
We use an aluminum trailer and will stay with that material.
(1)
Hillsboro, ribless design and extruded tongue and groove 'boards' makes for easy cleaning. Thinking 7.5x24-26'.
Wilson - Flex design, excellent reputation
Merritt - Flex design, excellent reputation
(2)
2 axle is our preferred setup; Doubt anybody make a 3 axle stock that is just 20' long.
(3)
Drum brakes work fine. Look into good conduit wiring if you ever pull into a pasture to turn around. Don't expose the wiring under the trailer. Look for the best wiring design at the drum. (As yet, I have not inspected this detail.)

My 1979 Featherlite 7x20' is getting old and keeps popping weld repairs. It gave us excellent service. One multi-brand dealer said our Featherlite was during the brand's good years.
