    Looked around and found this old posting on bulkloads, it’s not me but i’ll copy and paste what he said and a photo.

    I've got a 1988 Guthrie cattle pot. This is a very well built trailer. It has a few things wrong with it of course but after hauling a bazillion head and lots of hard work going on ranches and rough roads it is in surprisingly good working order. I don't know if the floor has been changed out before, but it is pretty thick still. We added a lot of cleating because it was getting slick in spots.

    Roll up door is a joke. Rollers are too small and come off after they get worn.

    Can't get parts from Guthrie any more. Wanted to repair a couple bent "staves" as I call them on the sides where a car sideswiped it and they don't have the exact same ones any more. I think maybe Wilkins trailers in Liberal KS bought them out???? Can't remember now.

    I like the way the doors latch in this one I have, just have to swing the door lightly and it will catch almost always the first time.

    Wilson I still like the best, but you will pay a premium.

    Reckon, they were just a good trailer, that was more affordable than a Wilson or Merritt? Not necessarily better.
