“I love my Featherlite! It is bigger than my previous trailer but much lighter and easier for me to hitch, load and haul my cattle to shows by myself. Before Featherlite my fuel mileage dropped greatly when I hauled even a few head of cattle. Now it is about the same whether hauling or not. This trailer has been a tremendous time and money saver for me.”

8409 Combo Trailer

The 8409 combo trailer is the perfect choice for ranchers and farmers that need both a livestock trailer and horse trailer. The stock area of the 8409 is well suited to hauling livestock, but it can easily be configured to transport horses in either a straight or slant load. In the front section of the trailer, the dressing room doubles as an equipment storage space, perfect for storing bags of feed or serving as a mobile workshop. Shouldn’t your trailer be as versatile as you?

Featherlite combo trailer 8409 comes in lengths of 12’, 16’, 20’ or 24' with 7’ or 8’ widths. A deluxe 36” camper door provides the entry to the dressing room, which is separated from the stock area by a solid wall. Each area has its own dome light. Aluminum side panels with a “wave” motif give the trailer a sleek style, and Featherlite offers a practically endless number of options for the 8409 and other combo trailers.
