B&B Scales on Ebay

[HOSS]

Has anybody ever used or ordered livestock scales from this company? Did they hold up as advertised? I want to add scales under my squeeze chute this spring and they seem to have attractive pricing and various models and features. They are made in the USA also. I don't need an extravagant heavy duty set that calculates the national debt or tells me what my cows carbon footprint is. Just a basic set that weighs, has the hold feature and maybe a usb connection to download weights into my hand held device.

I bought the "Build Your Own :: Deluxe Scale Kit - up to 5000lbs" last April.

Everything arrived just as they advertised. I had to call the tech support number the night we did the install. They answered the call after hours and answered my question.

I filled up a bunch of 5 gallon pails at work. Weighed them on the companies certified scales and the B&B scales matched all the weights.

Make sure the wires on the load cells are long enough for your application. I wish mine were a couple feet longer.

We bought the build your own also, last fall. Looks like it is going to work fine.
