New "Silencer" Hydraulic Squeeze Chute
October 2002

I really lobbied HARD for this item! And it's great. It is also very heavy. I took pictures as long as I could stand it. Until our new tractor started tipping to one side and lifting the back tire off the ground.

I was nervous for the guys, the tractor, and the chute. Just tell me when it's in! They ended up putting a round bale on the back of the tractor to counterbalance. Had to lift the whole thing higher than the 6-pipe corral fence because the chute was too wide to fit through the gates.


It works like a dream. Easier on the cattle and the safer for the workers. The weight on each animal displays immediately and doesn't "jump" around. In fact...nothing jumps around...they can't!
