[QUOTE="dun, post: 50981, member: 34"] I gotta agree with you on the "worth the money" part. When they first came out with the Rancher model it was about 3 inches narrower then it is now, they discovered the problem and revised it quickly. We had one when it first came out and I had a cow that just couldn't get into it. Priefert brought me out a new one, pulled the old one and installed the new one. No charge. That's a compnay I enjoy doing business with. I don't care for the older style sweep but that's what we have. The first time you work cattle through it the tend to ball up at the hinge end of the gate. The newer one (more bucks) doesn't have that problem. We've gotten around it by running the calves through the sweep and chute twice a day to reach their grain ration, then let them out through another gate. We started doing that a couple of years ago and it's made it so much easier bringing the heifers in to breed. When we open up the alleyway they almost run through the sweep into the chute. dun [/QUOTE]
