[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 750892, member: 2905"] Dun How good is the neck access on the SO1? The front verticle bar on the SO4 has a dogleg in it that appears to give great neck access for vacs, etc while the SO4 has all straight bars. Also a man that has a SO4 said he preferred it to the SO1 because the control for the head gate and the rear gate could both be reached by one person at the same time. Said it made it easier for him to work cattle by himself. Why do you like the sliding gate? I went to a dealer who had both chutes side by side and spent several minutes working each and the split SO4 tailgate seemed to work easier for me. The sliding gate seemed to bind when fully opened and took more force to operate then the split gate. I'm sure some oil on the slide would make it easier at least until it collected dust. Has anyone run any 150-200# calves thru a priefert chute? If yes, what was your experience with calves this small? The better neck access and ease of operation of the rear gate are the 2 factors that have me leaning toward the more expensive one. I have reached the age where ease of use has significant value to me. I really appreciate everyones input as I am trying to decide which one to buy. [/QUOTE]
