sqeeze chute

Does anyone own a powder river squeeze chute? how do they like it? pros and cons?

I have one and I like it. I bought it used at an auction. It is actually a Powder River longhorn chute. Works just fine for polled cattle. I like the horizontal bars on it. Downside to mine is you could bump your head on the handles if you don't pay attention. And I wish the butt gate handle was to the back instead of up front. But it has been a well built piece of equipment that has not required any repairs.

Cattlemens assoc here had one i used it several times helping other people i hated that thing it took 2 people to operate it as Dave said the butt gate in the front was a pain and the automatic head catch part is spring loaded so they had to hit it pretty hard, usually had to have someone up there pulling it shut as they put there head in(may have just been wore out) and deffinetly a head banger it was about 20 yrs old they may have improved some of that since then. i can do everything by myself from one spot with priefert.
