[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 671390, member: 7509"] Rather than mounting the scale under the chute - which is heavy and has lots of side loads - you can mount a scale with standard aluminum platform in the allet leading up to most chute. This is then a standard item - most are 7 ft long by about 2 ft wide. I would recommend buying a tru-test. Buy a good scale and lower cost indicator, unless you are a very large operation. Livestock can put a lot of sideloads on a scale which many are not designed for. Many are not really water/manure proof. You can sometimes buy the demo unit at a farm show. They don't like to carry them home. Spend money on the load bars, not the indicator. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
