| The only thing about having to heavy of axles is if you do a lot of unloaded miles, they will bounce too much in a aluminum trailer. It's a lot better to go loaded all the time. I've never had problems with 7,000 lbs. axles. The biggest trailer I have is 7'x24' in a livestock trailer. As for slider doors, I've never had a problem with them, I've allways been able to open them. it's not to say a cow won't lean on them, but a hotshot always gets them off it. I would rather have the slider on the inside, in the event it ever broke off, it's in the inside, and load will not come out. And trust me if you keep anything long enough, it will break if you use it.
I think most all trailers are good, it's mainly the price, and your personal preference the day you purchase it. I would have to say we are rough on trailers out west here, a lot rougher than 80% of the people in the market for a trailer. The whole key is maintenance, and use it but not abuse it( at least try not too). The first and only requirement for me is torsion axles, the only way to go. | |
