[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1002908, member: 498"] I have a WW sweep tub that runs into an older Powder River alley with a Powder River longhorn chute in front. I like the sweep. I can run a fair amount of cattle by myself in a timely manner with a lot less stress on me and the cattle. The only two things I have had any problem with. The latch handle springs could be stronger or I could do a better job of keeping it oiled up. It works fine but I have to manually close the latch. The springs don't do it for me. The other is one of those fluke things. I had a cow try to climb out. She ended up getting her foot stuck in the gap between two of the panels. I have since made a bar that bolted over that gap not allowing an animal to get a foot into there. My tub isn't sheeted. I have some fabric from a pulp mill to hang on the outside of the tub which will in effect make it into a sheeted tub. I just haven't had time to hang it as of now. I know that having a sheeted tub will help to decrease the times an animal will atempt to jump out. Not that that has happened very often. [/QUOTE]
