The record at the top of this page is the 1980 from 2024. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 1980, and those 5 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2023. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
