[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1175716, member: 1682"] Karin, the Tuff and Sioux Steel chute are one and the same. Tuff (Canada) & Real Tuff (USA) make all of Sioux Steel's handling equipment and just slap the Sioux Steel decals on them. You may have been around an older Tuff unit, as Tuff is farmer/rancher driven and makes adjustments to their units with the feedback they get. I found Tuff's system for the drop down bars to be one of the best I have seen - roll the pin with your thumb and pull it out/down. As far as the worst chute, I would have to make a list and pick the one with the greatest of faults, which I have not done since I bought my Tuff chute. But some of the top contenders for worst would be Powder River, Foremost and Pearson. I have never priced a Pearson, but if you have to pay more than 2k new for that POS, your getting robbed. My old chute that I keep across the road in a pasture is a Hi-Qual from the 80's, and Hi-Qual is still working off that same pi$$ poor design in the chutes they build today, so they are a contender as well. Priefert is middle of the road. Not terrible, not exceptional and priced about right, maybe slightly overpriced. It's no wonder it is so popular. [/QUOTE]
