“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.”
