    +1. They're a seriously well made trailer for the money no matter what size trailer you're after.

    Think so. We have a Murphy trailer, with a deck for the sheep. One criticism I have of it is the shape side air holes. On the trailer we have they're oblong, on previous trailers we've had they've been round. So, what's the problem?, you ask.

    The problem is we have scotch sheep, scotch sheep have horns. We've more one horn bandits now because of that trailer than any other trailer. When a ewe stuck her horn out the round hole, she seemed to be able to get it back in easily.But these oblong holes seem to hold onto it and inevitable the horn ends up breaking :eek:

    Apart from that... They're a great trailer.

    One other odd thing. We had ours delivered part way by the man himself. Another neighbour had a trailer which came with a spare. When we saw ours it had none, so, we asked about it to be told the tires on this trailer "don't get punctures"...

    :rolleyes: They do.

    I know, I seem to be bitching a lot. But it really is a good trailer IMO.

    They don't come with a spare as standard. It's extra. You are getting an exceptionally well built trailer for the money. He was the hardest man I've come across to haggle with. But the golden rule with me is if there is no budge with the money, then try to get something 'thrown in.' I tried my hardest for the spare. In the end I got the hanger. Wasn't not going to buy the trailer, so was happy with that. Easy pick up an old rim and tyre good enough for a spare. It doesn't look as appealing either to a potential thief. I wouldn't be putting it on unless going a journey.

    I did buy a second bottle jack for the jeep aswel. A 5T one. It's good to have if you get a puncture with the jeep or trailer. It stows easily in the same space as the original jeep jack. When you've jacked so far with one and it's not high enough, it's easy stick in the second at another point to take over. Also learnt from experience and being caught out to have a few small offcuts of hardwood in the tray under the seat ;)

    That's fair enough and I wasn't giving out as such. Just that when we asked about it, we weren't offered an option, only told they didn't get punctures :rolleyes: Which was a bit pointless.
