Agreed. I was just making a point. A fellow may not always be loading out in his trailer.Rafter S":iwzkvizl said:Fence,
That's why I don't buy trailers with batwing doors. I don't have a separate working chute, and besides, I don't want cattle turning around and coming back at me when I'm trying to load them.
I prefer a single swing with a slide in it. It's what on my 24' trailer.
I've got a 16 with batwings and as you know there's lots of batwings around. As far as them turning back. I put a gate in about 8 ' behind the trailer entrance. Cutout and run up what will fit in one cut. Once their in that last catch they can turn till their dizzy. I can reach em with the hot shot and once one goes they all go.
I'm not saying my pens are just like that. I've got the most cobbled together rig of leftovers you have ever seen. (Think mechanics car). But when I build for a customer. I try to make it where it will work in any situation.
