[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1175411, member: 1682"] The only difference I could find between the Sioux and Stampede Steel chutes, was that you could control the headgate from the rear of the chute, on the Stampede Steel. It was priced $2000 higher than the Sioux, and I didn't think it was worth it just for that. The SS chute weighed a few hundred pounds more and uses more pipe steel than structural. One thing I didn't like on the Sioux is not enough grease zirks. It has about 30 of them on it, but I could find at least 10 more spots to put some. If it did, it would be just as quiet as a chute with nylon bushings. Also, the set-up for adjusting the sides of the headgate could be improved. It uses hitch pins, and they are slick, but the quick pin system used on Hi-Hog chutes is even slicker. I didn't care for the engineering of the center pivot system that brings in the parallel sides of the Sioux chute. Can be a head banger if you follow a cow straight through the chute. Really minor stuff that most people could care less about, but I am so picky/anal when it comes to buying equipment of any kind. [/QUOTE]
