i have the chance to buy a used 7x24 aluminum around a 2002 year model it looks good has only been pulled down the road has any one had one? how well will it hold up to ranch work being pulled around the pasture ? do they have any spots that are prone to cracking ? any opinions or ideas are welcome Thanks

I have a steel one built in 1977. Outside of the lights its still good. While I owned my tire shop I put a lot of tires on aluminum stock trailers. If I needed another, it would be an aluminum trailer.

The farm I workat has an aluminum stock trailer. I don't rember the brand it's from around 2000 and has held up real well it gets pulled in the pasture to load and unload it trails very nice on the road. Both fender lips behind the rear tires got bent back and have been cutoff. They hung pretty low when new the load height is very low it dosent have axles across the trailer they are stub axles and the deck height is below the center of the tire. No flex off road and it's important the hitch height be correct. So we must pull it with the same truck every time. The lights have been a problem ocasanily but that's to be expected on a 20 year old trailer. It gets pressure washed after hauling all cattle out in spring and after hauling all cattle back in the fall so it still looks new only some rust on the steel wheels.
