Mine is the auto catch but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to set it, I guess. I have a lever and some holes in a piece of flat stock but doesn't look like much of a design. I would use it if I trusted it, but when I am alone, I don't want to take the chance of turning something out that I managed to get up by myself. Is anyone actually using this auto catch feature on this unit with success?
I catch em by myself with the auto catch. It works good, but I keep the release points oiled and slicked up. When they stick their head through it releases the catch and their shoulders stop them, and then the head gate tightens up on em. Just barely set the release, have it filed slick and oiled and it works every time.
