We also bought a crowding tub and corral panels. The tub doesn't connect to the chute, so we have to chain it together. The corral panel also won't connect to the tub, so that is chained together. The doors on the chute have to be chained together. The company will come do "warranty work" on it, but we bought it new, we didn't damage it, so why should it need "warranty work"? They sent new brackets, which are exactly the same ones as was on it when we picked it up. President of the company will not return our phone calls, never has. He did send someone out to look at it, the guy told us we need to dig the legs of the corral panels 6" into the ground to connect them to the tub? What kind or sense does that make? We are in our 60's and wanted something safe and easy to use, this is neither. Very poorly engineered, would not recommend. We just want them to come get it and refund our money. $7,300.00 piece of junk. We found out later that Apache bought the Palco name and another company bought the engineering patent. Extremely disappointed!
