So Im somewhat looking at manual squeeze chutes. I have an old thing that kinda gets the job done, but thinking I should maybe update. Would like something that has a portable option, automatic headgate, parallel squeeze. Hydraulic isn't an option. I realize brands will vary by region. Northern Nebraska is my location.
Pearson is an old brand common to the area. Still a good chute. Somewhat like foremost. I like pulling on the chain to squeeze. Probably don't get the torque that a lever style does. I normally don't squeeze much. I like the idea of the chain so that you don't need a hard hat. Real Tuff is a bran that seams to interest me. They from Mobridge SD I believe. Kinda wonder if Sioux and Hi Qual aren't made by Real Tuff. Without side by side, they look really similar. Hard to find that brand used. For my size of operation, I spose a cheaper quality one would do the job. Kinda hate to buy just a piece of junk to get by with. Dang inflation makes new out of my price range.
