[QUOTE="irked, post: 612760, member: 7861"] most mfgs now make "economy" models of chutes to appeal to the budget of the part timer/hobbyist. be sure that you are comparing models of comparable quality, not just the brand. the real powder river chutes that are made for real cattlemen - - NOT the chinese gyp joint variety that they make for george strait to sell at tractor supply - - are functional chutes that will be with you for a long time. it's hard to tell someone which chute is best for them because most chutes have a different "fit" for different people. some people have to worry about bumping their heads, while others are more concerned about foot levers in the way. also, different people have different requirements for durability, width and length of a chute depending on how often they are working bulls, whether or not they are palpating cows, how large their cows are, etc. there are also personal preference involved. for example, i prefer a chute with split kick panels. some people don't care and only want the cheapest thing they can get. my suggestion is that you find someone that has a chute of each type that you like and try them out first. you don't even have to actually catch cattle, but at least go through the motions.
