[QUOTE="dun, post: 21285, member: 34"] Yah you're being cheap, but there ain't nothing wrong with that. Remember that you'll need some way to adjust the closed neck width so you can do little calves also. If you don;t see a feature on a squeeze chute, I wouldn't recommend adding it to your design. If they don't have them they may be just more of a pain in the butt in the long term. Ropes and pulleys aren't desirable axcept for very limited use. Pulleys get dry and stick, ropes fray, swell in the ran and are just a general pain to mess with. Our chute has a sliding rear gate and I really prefer it to any of the other types I've worked with, and I think I've probably worked with them all. A scissor closing head gate works better then the swinging type. The geometry of the head gate is the only really tricky part. You might want to consider buying a good self closing head gate then build the rest of the chute yourself. dun [/QUOTE]
