[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1785576, member: 5381"] You have to set the release to where it is barely catching the hole to make it more sensitive. The cows shoulders hitting the gate is what releases the catch. It really needs a couple more holes in my opinion. On some big necked cows or a bull, I use the outside of the catch instead of a hole to get it opened wider. The spring does not have anything to do with the release. The spring just works to close the gate after the release is triggered. When I bought my chute the one they (McCoys) were fixing to load had a bent release bar. I noticed it and they got another one out of stock. I am sure Priefert will send you another one if the part is bad. They are a very customer friendly company and stand behind their products. They may not be the best chute around but they work well for a mid-size operation that has Texas size cows. The SO4 is not quite big enough for some of those giant cows that are popular in the colder climates. They are also small for my bull but he don't need much anyway except a good worming. For that he gets the worming pellets from safeguard and maybe a pour on. [/QUOTE]
