Neckover Trailers Buyer's Guide
Looking for a trailer that's really tough and can do the hard work you need? Let me tell you about Neckover Trailers. These trailers are super strong and have been helping people haul their stuff since 1973. That's over 50 years of building great trailers!
What's So Cool About Neckover Trailers?
Neckover isn't like other trailer companies. The people who make these trailers actually work with livestock and heavy equipment themselves. So when they build a trailer, they know exactly what problems you might face and how to fix them.
They call their trailers "Bull Tuff." And trust me, that name fits perfectly. These trailers are built with really strong steel and heavy-duty parts that can handle bumpy roads, bad weather, and all the tough stuff that happens when you're working hard on a ranch or farm.
What Does "Bull Tuff" Really Mean?
When Neckover says a trailer is "Bull Tuff," here's what they mean:
Built Really Well - They start with raw steel and carefully build each trailer piece by piece
You Can Count On It - These trailers keep working year after year without breaking down
Lasts A Long Time - Built so tough they can handle almost anything
Super Strong Welds - The pieces are welded together so well that they won't fall apart, even in rough conditions
Every single trailer is made right here in North America. They don't cut corners or use cheap materials.
What Kind of Neckover Trailers Can You Get?
Trailers for Animals (Livestock Trailers)
These are the most popular Neckover trailers. They're perfect for moving cows, horses, or other farm animals. Here's what makes them special:
Gates in the middle, so loading animals is easy
Special doors so you can escape if an animal gets rowdy
Holes in the sides so fresh air flows through
Floors that aren't slippery, so animals don't fall down
Really strong walls that can handle when animals bump into them
The design helps keep your animals calm during the ride, so they arrive happy and healthy.
Trailers for Big Machines (Equipment Trailers)
Need to move a tractor or other heavy machine? These trailers have super-strong floors and frames that can carry really, really heavy stuff without breaking.
Trailers for Hay
These are made just for hauling hay bales. They've been tested to make sure they can handle the special challenges of moving hay around.
Flat Trailers (Flatbed Trailers)
These are like a big, flat platform on wheels. You can load stuff from any side, which makes them really handy for lots of different jobs.
Trailers for Cars
Want to move a car or truck? These trailers are built to keep vehicles safe while you're hauling them.
Important Things to Look For
The Frame (The Main Structure)
Neckover uses really strong steel to build the frame. The frame is like the skeleton of the trailer - it holds everything together. Check that the welded parts look good and solid. A well-built frame will last you for many, many years.
The Axles (What the Wheels Attach To)
Many Neckover trailers have something called rubber-torsion axles. These are better than old-style axles because they give a smoother ride and last longer.
The Coating (Protection from Rust)
Neckover puts a special powder coating on its trailers. Think of it like a super-strong paint that protects the metal from getting rusty. This is really important if you live somewhere wet or humid.
How It Connects to Your Truck
Most Neckover trailers connect to your truck using something called a gooseneck hitch. This sits in the bed of your truck (not on the bumper). This design helps spread out the weight better, stops the trailer from swaying, and makes it easier to turn. It's much safer than other ways of connecting trailers.
What the Floor is Made Of
You can get either rubber floors or wood floors. Rubber floors last longer, and you don't have to fix them as much. Wood floors are the old-fashioned choice and are easier to replace if they get damaged.
Extra Stuff You Can Add
One really cool thing about Neckover is that you can customize your trailer. That means you can add:
Bright LED lights
Extra places to store things
A place to keep a spare tire
Whatever special features you need
Picking the Right Size
Before you buy, think about what you'll be using the trailer for most:
For Animals: How many cows or horses do you usually move at one time?
For Machines: What's the biggest piece of equipment you'll need to haul?
For Hay: How many bales do you normally carry?
Pick a size that's a little bigger than what you usually need. It's better to have extra room than to squeeze things in too tightly.
How to Buy Your Trailer
Find a Good Dealer
Neckover only works with dealers they've carefully chosen. At KOC Outdoors in Texas, the people there really know their stuff and can help you pick the perfect trailer. When you buy from an official dealer, you get better help and service.
Paying for Your Trailer
Good trailers cost money, but you don't have to pay it all at once. KOC Outdoors has something called 0% financing. That means you can make payments over time without paying extra money in interest. This helps ranchers and farmers get the equipment they need without spending all their money at once.
The Warranty (The Promise)
Make sure you understand what the warranty covers and how long it lasts. Register your warranty right away - it's like getting insurance for your trailer.
Your Trailer Will Last a Long Time
Here's something really cool: Neckover trailers keep their value really well. Because they're built so tough and everyone knows they're good, if you ever want to sell your trailer later, you can get good money for it. Cheaper trailers lose their value fast, but not Neckover.
Taking Care of Your Trailer
Neckover makes parts for their trailers, and dealers like KOC Outdoors can help you with:
Putting in new floors (rubber or wood)
Upgrading the axles
Repainting
Fixing bearings and hubs
Repairing lights and wires
Regular check-ups
Getting good service helps keep your trailer working like new for a really long time.
