[QUOTE="NewRenoFarmsInKY, post: 1732457, member: 32426"] Howdy y’all. I know there was a recent thread on squeeze chutes, and I watched it closely. But I want to dial the topic in a bit. About 3 years in to my ranching adventure and I need a good chute. I have a chute, but it’s as old as the hills and is barely better than not having a chute. After watching the other thread I’ve decided to bite the bullet and buy either a 7 or 8 thousand series arrowquip. I want/need the vet cage, and figure I’ll get the head holder and sternum bar as well. A guy from a livestock company that will be at the farm machinery show in Louisville was going to get me a “show discount” price if I pick it up there today and never heard back from him. Had my wife stop in the closest dealer while she was on the road today to get a quote from them as well. The mid-level and high level chutes were just over 10k and 12k respectively-and that is supposedly giving me a 5% discount 😳 What prices are y’all seeing out there in similar chutes? It’s not that I don’t have the money-but it’s a bit more (about 2k more per model) that I was expecting. Perhaps I just had my pricing expectations too low. With 50 cows, it’s tough to make that pencil even expecting it to last me the rest of my life. Or, if there’s a dealer anybody has had dealings with close to Kentucky y’all could recommend I would appreciate some recommendations. Thanks [/QUOTE]
