Mornin' Guys,

Can anyone recommend a good heavy pre-built loading chute?

I've been thinking about building a permanent one of of timber, but wonder if a prefab wouldn't be just as economical?

Also, if my old memory is serving me, is it 57" to the floor of the pot?

Thanks,

Allan

Allan, Drop me a line! And i will send you my phone number, so we can visit about it if you want. I can give you perspective from The Property owner to Truck driver!
I have built steel ones and can give you a bunch of info in dos and don't.
An old WW made portable is as good a platform to design off of as any. Have loaded over 20000 head of yearlings through a ww just like the one in your pic.
Just too much to talk about, in typeing form.
As always I am uncovered.
Later,
John A.

Allan, I agree with the other posts about using steel over wood. I suspect lumber out there in the dry country is expensive and I have only seen pine growing near there. Use oak here, I would say it would take a 2 by 8 pine to equal a 1 1/2 by 6 oak in strength. I also agree with the others on using a low cattle trailer, but you may have in mind some truck to use. In that case, I would get a commercial adjustable one, saving time on making one yourself. The best one is from a dealer near you at the best price and you can tell if its well made. I've dealt with loading facilities for close to 40 years and the best tip I can pass on is to load out of a barn if possible. Put truck or trailer on the outside at the end of a chute. The cows will go to the light, thinking they are getting out. I have one built this way for one pasture, and it works great. Don't know about horses, but I thought you just led them on. Is that laughter I hear?

Hi Qual, made in South Dakota I believe and available at what used to be (at least in our area) called Cenex, is a well made brand.

I dont think its quite that tall to load a pot. I was thinking 50" but my chute is adjustable.

Most people haul horses around with gooseneck or bumper pull trailers. Not sure how it"s done in Nebraska. Must be getting into horses big time. Sorry Allan, couldn"t help myself. Look on the bright side, the more horses she has, the more tractors you"ll have. Rich

But Rich, since Allan's better half bought a cutting horse, She will need some good cows to practice on to improve her skills. As I can see from Allans pic.s he would be no challenge!!!

Unless you have a bunch of heavy timbers all ready, forget wood. Use heavy oilfield pipe. don't know if any around there, but South-West to Kimbel would have. Some of those oil-field welder are prety darn handy. Pre-fabs are OK. I think one of the reasons goose-neck stock trailers are so popular is you don't need to rebuild the danged chute every time you need it. I fought poor chuts all my life, finaly built one with 6 inch oil field caseing and 3 yards of concrete. Doubt if I used it 10 times after I got a goose neck. Kennyp

If you're buying horses by the potfull, you'll need an UNloading chute.

I'd say in the long run buying one will be cheaper then building one. To bad you didn't tel me you where looking for one. I was at an auction yesterday and one sold for $5.

Hey buddy, get the little missus to invest in some of these fine equine creatures and all your woes will evaporate. You can take them to town and bring home the groceries, go to the woods and bring back some winter firewood, herd the moocows, or just about anything. After all, 127 million Mexicans can't all be wrong. Hehehehe, Harley
