[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1795950, member: 39018"] I have an SO1 with the HG91 headgate. I like it. Simple, seems to be reasonably durable, cost effective, gets the job done... BUT, I do wish I had the SO4 instead (larger, a couple nicer features). Not the fanciest chutes out there, but dependable for what you want/need them to do. You can overpay for bells and whistles that you don't really need, IMO... not that some of those higher end features of the more expensive chutes aren't "nice to have". User friendly, if you ask me. The design of the headgate in particular is as good as or better than most... self catching or manually operated, it works well. I got this one "barely used", and "right", so couldn't pass it up. The guy had advertised it as an SO4. When I got there, I pointed out that it was the smaller SO1 version... It [U]was[/U] totally just like a brand new one in every way, paint and all, and had the "transport" (dolly for hauling it around) with it too... and I got it for $1500... can't beat that. A new SO4 up here now is around $5000, a new SO1 is $3800. The transport will run you almost another $1000 I think. [/QUOTE]
