I have a problem with Moly Co. that builds Silencer. They were a small company that provided jobs in a rural community. Then, Jon Mollhagen cut some sort of deal with the Federal Prison at Ellsworth,Ks. The business was moved into the correctional facility, employees were laid off and prisoners now provide the cheap labor that builds Silencer chutes.
if you look them up on google maps they are located in a building in the middle of nowhere. .. I looked up some info.. looks like they do take part in a prisoner program where they teach prisoners skills to use in the real world. I don't see a problem with that.

What model did you get and what features does it have. This is our 3rd year for our Cattleac hydraulic chute. It is located at the main set of pens and I often wonder how we did without it. Many times it is just the two of us working cattle and it makes it so much easier. Sometimes it is just me. We have a control for the back gate located about 8 foot back on the alley also so a person can load one and close the back gate from the back. We have a few manual models located at other locations we use to give vaccinations, put tags in and to back pour, ect but all the main work is done with the hydraulic chute. We have two very high quality chutes manufactured within 80 miles of us. The Cattleac and the Flying W. Both are heavy made chutes that will last most a lifetime.We have a palpation doors, head bender, leg puller and hydraulic adjustable front and back gates and sides. We don't use the leg puller as much as I thought. We have been using mainly the Callicrate bands and it is easier to put them on with both legs on the floor. Use the head bender mainly when working cows. Most of the hydraulic chutes in our area is one of the two I mentioned. We also have manual adjustable sides on the alley so can work anything from calves to bulls without trouble with them turning around. Have heard of the Silencers and a few others but have never used them. Will be interested in the features yours has. I'm sure you will like it.
ranch extended. i got the upper and lower hyd. squeeze. hyd. fold gate in alley. neck extension bars, weigh scales, pivot controls, turrent gate setup. i haven't set it up yet I need to get electric to it and a building built first. glad yours is working out well, i'm excited to use mine.
