I just bought a new cattle Chute just like this and I'm having a problem when I open the shoot to let the cow out it opens up really far or should I say really wide, but when I'm opening up to set it they only want to swing in just a little bit, what am I doing wrong is there some other lever I need to push in order to get it to swing back further
Thanks SF88! I hadn't figured that technique out yet to get the butt gate to stay up without a second person holding it up to release the pin. I'm going to try that today.
I will give you a little piece of advice that I have learned it’s better to have a facility to work cattle no matter the number of cows because it won’t take long to pay for its self just by Dave g a cow or two also when you have a good set up you will be more likely to work cattle and take better care of them I’ve been on both sides of it I never want to go back to roping cattle and trying to half ass it lol so I always say if you can afford it go ahead and get it you will never regret it
Denny's Country Life watch out for a used one. Also you can buy the head gate by itself and mount to a couple post and use gates on either side to catch. I actually had my chute built many years ago and it has got me by but I am going to upgrade in the near future.
informative and practical

I have had a tarter for several years, we have a hard time with the automatic head catch releasing outward when releasing the cattle.
I thought it was supposed to open outward when releasing the cattle and opens inward to catch them
Thanks for the video! I like the squeeze chute! I need one! How long have you had it?
Landmark cattle I bought it this past summer from a individual

Do it quick and fast lol
Would you recommend this chute? I'm looking at buying one and can't decide between auto catch or manual
Yes I would andthe autocatch for me is a must because I do most of it all by myself
Do you know what series it is?
3 buy it new will cost any where from 1800 to 2000
Smalltown Farmer88 yeah the one I'm looking at is a little over 1800. I'm just worried about getting a bull through it. Did you work your bull in it?
No but I did put 1700 pound cows through it my bulls are so gentle I can do about anything I need to out in the open
Looks pretty slick! I don't have enough cattle to justify one, but it would be really nice on day!

Smalltown Farmer88 That makes sense, thanks for the advice man! I'll keep my eyes out for a good cheap ised one.
