[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8119357, member: 17508"] It's a bit wet here so not much happening today, having a play with the trailer put the decks down etc [ATTACH=full]1033380[/ATTACH] How far in do you want the back gates to go inwards? Slip a ewe out there no problems With the decks down the rear ramp steals almost the last 2ft which surprised me (knew you lost a bit of the top deck but didn't realise it was quite as much)... I usually put 25 lambs to a deck on the Ifor, hopefully can still get 25 on top, but they'll be a little tighter. There's a few lynch/clasp pins exposed which won't be an issue with sheep but might not last long with big cattle (thankfully it's mostly cull cows and the odd bull we shift with the trailer - stores almost all go on wagons) It's definitely stronger built than the Ifor (and ours is 21yr old strong built Ifor, not one of the newer softer ones!) My one came with the right sheep gates so don't need to go back and complain 😂 [/QUOTE]
