[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7154727, member: 3566"] I'm not sure that the length of the trailer makes any difference...... A 12' plain trailer simply isn't capable of carrying enough sheep for most people therefore they need decks. I bought a 14' with the idea that it should be big enough but the decks were available to take a few should I need the extra room. The full capacity would be about 60 lambs finished lambs which would put me well over weight. I have since wondered whether it would have been cheaper and easier to have had a plain 16' or even 18' which would be easy to load without the weight or faffing of decks and would limit the load of sheep to something more legal and keep the centre of gravity much lower. It would need extra gates to keep cattle restricted to over the axles if you wanted dual use. [/QUOTE]
