Looking for good ideas.....

The white trailer is a 20' the red is a 24'

If I was buying another trailer today I would buy a 28' x 6'8" triple with 3 gates, 1x3 tube sides, and metal top. with 4x5 escape. However the 24' has served us well for several years. With the 20' Hanover that I had, I always needed an extra cut gate, and that extra 4'

You will find that most 20' stock trailers are going to be setup with 12' front and 8' rear. Which will be an issue with your Mule, as I think you stated before that it is 10' long. You can get the cut gate moved to a 10/10 or an 8/12 as opposed to the common 12/8. Or just get a 24 with 6/6/12 .

If you like the half top trailer, you will be more likely to find a deal on one out west near your deer lease. They are not that common in this area. But they are real handy when it comes to loading cattle out of a pasture. You can also drag your hogs to the trailer horseback, then toss the rope over the top ball, and drag the hogs into the trailer.
