No. But a friend of ours bought one, used it a couple of times & sold it. It may be a sound investment if you have mean mamas and perfectly flat ground.

Neighbor has one. Works very well. We use his on unlevel ground but it's not terribly unlevel. Just terraces here and there. Doesn't work well around trees that's for sure. It's the ticket for tagging, banding, and doctoring calves. He modified his to work on a Kubota RTV. Around $2600 I think.

I follow your logic Fence, but this isn't exactly designed for "ranchers". It's more for people who spend most of their cow working time alone and may or may not be a little older age wise. My neighbor for instance is about 60 and there's no way he can do it on foot or off of a horse. So it's either something like this or get out of the cow/calf business OR process everything in the working pens. No way he could do it out in the pasture anymore. BUT, he did up until about 3 years ago. But again, I do catch your drift.
Oh, dang! So, I guess I have a few years left before I become old & feeble. :shock: Maybe I'll get fat & make it a party. Y'all coming to my dispersal sale? ;-)

This! Except my husband is the one that doles out cubes to keep mama occupied while I tag/work her newborn.
