    I came across your channel by accident. I was captivated. It brought back many memories. The only other thing that has had that kind of impact on me was chatting with Temple Grandin. Some of the memories were good, but I can't remember those. The bad ones are of getting up at dawn on a winter morning and putting out hay for cattle who promptly stomp it into the snow. That was a while ago. Now I'm selling the little ranch and someone is going to build homes on it. I will tell you that when I got up from my computer I habitually checked the bottoms of my shoes. Old habits die hard, it seems. Thanks for your channel.

    Mr. Mike, I got to look over that same setup two years ago in Great Falls and was extremely impressed with the thought that went into the design. The greatest feature I saw that a lot of people won't notice being a huge asset it the anti-laydown bar in the floor. We always castrated in headcatchers and that was the biggest problem was calves trying to lay down. The neck cradle feature was sweet too. A good headcatcher is important equipment for a 1 or two person operation. I think you will enjoy that fine piece of machinery Mr. Mike.

    That’s Truly Epic!! The Arrowquip will obviously make the ranchers and the cows lives much easier!! With its ergonomically round gates, The cattle will have a much less stressful experience. I saw a documentary many years ago where it explains that cows get stress pretty easy when being moooved. Yes pun intended. Well anyway I hope this makes life much easier for all involved and can’t wait to see it in action.

      I’m glad someone showed how it holds the cattle. I don’t run cows, but my cousin mentioned how hard it is on his cows when one of the heads closes down on the top of the neck compared to scissor style that closes on the sides. Interested how this one does with your cows.

  • @TylerBunchanumbers
    @TylerBunchanumbers Před 5 lety +2

    We've got a Q-Catch as well. Not only makes things easier but MUCH safer for cow and cowboy. Working cattle is the most dangerous thing we do here. Always thought these were too pricey. After more close calls than I can count I had an epiphany. If I get hurt working with my old chute what's that gonna cost me? If my wife or kids get hurt I'd never forgive myself for skimping on such important equipment. So here we are. Much safer. BTW, these aren't disposable chutes. They're built like old tractors. At some point I'll sandblast and repaint. I'm 43 yrs old and pretty convinced this is the last chute this farm will ever need.

  • @calumanderson5617

    Nice cattle handling system you've got there Mike 👍it also reminds me of a a woman called Temple Grandin ? Who knows her stuff when it comes to cattle handling and can't help but thinking she had a hand of thinking this system up.

      Ms. Grandin pointed out the calmer handling of livestock in their processing. Many cattlemen and women have stressed this over the years. Everything from roundups, moving cattle, separating etc. All makes good pointers and makes for easier handling.

    You'll like it, we had one of the 86 series for 2 years. Works great for cows but we also handle 300-500 bulls each year, needed heavier with hydraulics to handle the pace and strength of the bulls.

      The bulls fit, up to around 2200, the chute holds them. It was just the volume, manual wears you out after about 25 or 30.

  • @frankirwin2377
    @frankirwin2377 Před 5 lety +1

    That equipment looks awesome Mike! After using all types of different squeeze equipment, it looks as if someone sit down and designed a working system that cattlemen can use, plus the mobility factor makes it even more enticing for working cattle. Get it used and dirty with a thorough review for us all. We're waiting.

    A few years ago I had a cow slip in my chute go down and only way out was cutting torch. I started looking for a new chute that sides could open (without torch). After looking at price tags on 6 or 7 brands I took the welder to the old one! I thought anything built heavy enough and has the goodies was sky high price. Last year I saw an arrowquip. I thought at the price it'll be junk but looks very well built. My old one still works but now I know what I want when it comes to it.

    We had an Arrowquip squeeze chute. Biggest POS ever. Broken handles, cattle hip locked in head catch, broken bolts, hard to squeeze the cattle tightly. Traded it off for a Silencer. Best move ever made. I would even take our wore out Pearson over an Arrowquip.

    Wow, awesome Mike. When I was a young man I worked for a company that sold Aeroquip hydraulic hose and fittings. Their product was the best in the industry. This thing looks to be the same high quality. Good luck!!!
