[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 442305, member: 3162"] I've seen many different systems at the different auction barns and just about as many train wrecks. If they are nine foot tall, some animal is going to try to crawl over them at some point. Personal experiences, working methodology, breed, and just plain old animal personality is going to dictate each individual choice. Even the "perfect" system is going to be cumbersome at some point for given animals. Since I don't dehorn, stubborn animals wind up getting shipped out, and there are times I work solo, my system fits me. I designed and built it to fit my needs. Everything pins together and it can be altered, enlarged, or moved to another pasture quite simply. The chute is heavy to lift onto a flatbed requiring a large tractor or else the hoe. The cut gate can be lifted off of the main chute. The panels can be lifted by two people but it is easy with a front bucket to move them. Anyway, I can use my system on leased property if need be. I like portability and adaptablility. I can set it up curved but don't generally use it that way. [/QUOTE]
