Ifor Williams HB403 to HBX

[AngelaWB]

Hi, sorry to bring up the dreaded 'T' word again, but I've got my Ifor Williams 403 up for sale as I need a double trailer. I'm kind of thinking of going for a part ex if it doesn't sell soon and although I'd like the Bateson, I'd get a very good price against the new HBX. Does anyone own a IWT HBX - what are your thoughts on them now they've been on the road some time, are there any issues with there being so much 'window' space, I'm kind of concerned it may spook my mare if we're on a narrow road and something large approaches us. I've not seen many about so not sure if that's because of lock down or whether people don't like them etc. Thanks.

I have a hbx511. First trailer I have bought or towed with as always hired transporter.
i like mine I travel 2 percherons one is 780kg and other is 860kg. It is very easy to tow and mine do not care about the windows. They are big horses so need the space, and it allowed an extra 50 kegs over old model and I considered the nudge to copycat but that didn’t allow them weight wise.

It is also very robust as my naughtiest Percheron jumped the breast bar at highest setting and it didn’t give, the only damage was she face planted the door and damaged the frame but door was still usable.
