[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1643601, member: 498"] There was a Prieferts chute here when I bought this place. I never used it, but every neighbor around me cussed that chute. I took it to a farm equipment auction. The neighbors were happy to see that I had a Powder River chute that I brought with me. It is an XL manual. Being manual it works best when there are two people. One to push the cows and one to operate the chute. But I have worked hundreds of head through it by myself with less screw ups that the old saloon door self catch. I leave the head gate shut. I have a back up stop set where the critter is half way into the chute. Once they are past the stop. I walk to the front and open the head gate. 99% of the time they move forward quickly and I catch them. The chute is long enough that under about 800 pounds I run them clear in and close the back door. Then step up and open the head gate. [/QUOTE]
