[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1559463, member: 498"] I don't live in Priefert country so don't know much about the brand. What I do know is the secret to making a sweep work good is to not over load it. A few cattle at a time will work faster than packing it. A sheeted tub will work better than an open on. On an open tub you can hang a canvass tarp (I wouldn't use plastic) on the outside to the get the same effect as one that is sheeted. It causes them to see the alley as a way out. I got a material used in pulp mills called dryer felt. To hang on mine. It looks like a canvass tarp with metal woven into it. It lasts a long long time. [/QUOTE]
