[QUOTE="dun, post: 131840, member: 34"] AFter working with chutes that were on concrete and those on dirt, it's pretty much a wash unless you're going to put load bars under it. If on concrete it needs to be anchored to the concrete, on dirt, having it secured to the alleyway is about all that is needed. We worked a bunch of big ornery Holsteins, including a lunatic bull and the chute sitting on the dirt didn;t move. But a lot probably depends too on how heavy the chute is. If it's a decent make of chute and big enough for the animals you're trying to work I don;t see any reason to secure it. It may shift a bit if it's muddy or the cement is really smooth but I've never seen one move very much. A stand alone headgate is a different sotry, cement and well anchored is the only way to go. dun [/QUOTE]
