[QUOTE="machslammer, post: 1195964, member: 20421"] Question to anyone who has these scales under their chute... I have my prefiert chute positioned just on top of the scales, not secured to them. I can strap, tie, use tightening rods ect the back of the chute to keep it from sliding and the scales read fine when I get into it. BUT, when a calf gets into the chute, hits the head catch and puts tension on whatever I have securing the rear end, the scales will not read correctly. Then when I let them out it gives me a number ect and I can figure out what the true weight was, but it does not help me know if I need to keep or sort that calf while they are in the chute. After letting them out, readjusting the rear secure straps, ect then it will weigh correctly again until another calf hits the front of the chute again. I have had nothing but headache trying to figure out what to do to get these things to work correctly on even 2 calves in a row. What do I use to secure the chute with, or whatever to make my scales stay weighing correctly ect???? Thanks for HELP!!! [/QUOTE]
