[QUOTE="eric, post: 21288, member: 7"] Yes, the headgate seems to be the most important part, and I would definately purchase that first, then build the cage / frame around that. The rear gates that I have seen slide open from the top, via a rope and pulley. There is a tall frame and the gate slides up and down inside this frame assembly. I didnt really like the rope system either, I was trying to figure out how to make a long handle welded on a piece of tubing to control the squeeze. But this is something I could move into my shop after use, so it could be oiled / greased to keep things working smoothly. I made some forks for my tractor so moving this thing around shouldnt be a problem. The TSC one weighs 840 pounds, so I need to come up with something pretty heavy parts, or make some anchors to anchor it to the ground when in use. [/QUOTE]
