Default Fave float brand.

As the title says, your favourite float brand, for angle loads. Pro's and Con's of each, and what you'd choose if you had a money tree in the backyard =]

I've got a money tree hey? Stuff the float I'd want a beautiful custom made truck like a Rivenlee though pretty sure you by the truck so perhaps a mercedes and then get the back built. Back to reality now yet to win lotto or find a money tree.

I don't have one as I use a truck.
However I think those Otto Tuza floats are quiet well made and a good design. prices are reasonable too. Have looked at a few.

Alas, I have no money tree, so no Rivenlee for me =[ (besides, I'd rather buy a HOUSE than a truck that costs as much as a house!)
Thanks guys, any one who owns a 2/3 horse angle want to make a few comments?

Come check out the 2/3 horse angle imperials. Very nice, full 2 year warranty that covers everything including tyres, 14 day money back guarantee, first service free, priced well. Tow awesome, I have been doing regular runs to Margaret River with 3 horses and you wouldnt even know it was behind my ute, horses travel well. There are a couple of demos and second hand ones available at the moment too.

yeah but I have a money tree so my house would be worth a few mill .
I think there are only a few brands suitable for big horses in an angle load and very very few in a 2 horse. When I was considering upgrading I didn't see a single 2h angle that would have fitted my 17plus fellow. The other thing to really look into is that there are variations within brands depending on the models I know someone who bought two triples over from victoria same brand one fitted big horses comfortably the other did not. She realised after they bought the second one that the first must have been an extended and the second a standard. This is why some people will say oh this brand is really roomy and other people will say oh no they are squashy.
