Who made it?

[SBMF 2015]

We don't have a clue who made this chute. It's kinda Pdr River green but it doesn't look like any Pdr River I've ever seen.
It's definitely well built and heavy. It needs a new floor and we are going to replace the head gate.
The round tube is probably 3" and most of the rest is angle iron.

That much metal these days would cost you a fortune! Wow !!

Appears home built to me...

No tag anywhere?

There was an old Big Valley chute here when I bought this place and it was green. It looked a little different than that one though.

Homemade.

Nope, no tags or decals.
The farm we dug it out of has about every color gate and panel ever made. So no consistency. That hasn't helped in my guessing.

I think some parts of it may be prefabbed. But looking at the welds and some of the square cut corners etc, it's been repaired a LOT or someone fabricated most of it.

Aside from that. I'm of no help.

Looks like a Man Killer to me.

I've seen worse.

We can't get over how short in height it is

Kind of looks old old Powder River to me with a lot of home made added to it. The old Powder River chutes were short in height and length. Cows were a lot smaller in the 40's.

PPRM who posts on Rancher and rarely here is a regional rep for Powder River. Try sending him a PM with some of those pictures.

The head gate on that chute looks like an older version of an old kwik-way head gate I have, it's around 35 years old.
