[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 27385, member: 9"] Ok...we have some photos on our chute area at our site: [url=http://www.runningarrowlonghorns.com]http://www.runningarrowlonghorns.com[/url] goto the toolbar that says "our ranch photos." The 9-12" hinge separation is on back side of the swing gates. Separation is needed to prevent a "Tight V" squeeze. The 10 ft gates are used in some of the commercial units. Butt bars can be used if needed. Do not put solid sides on the gates. The LHs need space to work their horns thru at their leisure. If anyone wants more detail, e-mail me and I will email you some other photos of our set-up. Too difficult to put those on messageboard here. With our set-up we can work calves between about 100 lbs and full sized cow/bull at 1000+ lbs with no problem. The gate that is moved to "squeeze" the animal next to the fixed gate (that swings out after animal worked) has a sliding bar latch that goes into holes on the curved metal backside that is 7' hi x 8 ft long curve. Holes spaced about 4" apart to secure various sized animals. Hope this clarifies a few things... [/QUOTE]
