Has anyone used the Tarter chutes? I would be running 10 head through the chute twice a year probably. Comments welcome!
I have stood by them a time or two, but never owned one. I saw enough to know that I don't believe I would want one. I've got a saloon door head catcher I bought at an auction, when I was just a teenager. It was ancient then, and it's certainly old now. Good heavy wooden alley running to it. Wish I knew how many head have went through it in the 30 years I've owned it.
