you know those damn tractors are pretty expensive to, they keep wearing out parts and tires and need oil changes. Lets just haul them out behind the silo and get a team of horses. Thats the same mentality. Just doesn't make sense. I understand people going to free stalls but doing it because the gutter cleaner is worn out is almost funny. I have worked in over a dozen free stall barns and have only seen one that was as simple and required as little labor as a gutter system. That was a huge free stall barn that had the automated Patz cable scraper. Every other barn required to much human attention or time to keep things clean. Not as simple as throwing the switch on the wall. I guess the maintenance on the Patz system wasn't as big a deal for me. No one says every part has to have blue paint on it. As I mentioned, my chute was not Patz once the first one wore out. A local welding shop made the new one from stainless that sets over a treated 2x8 backbone. Patz didn't even have the high stength plastic when we bought some and put it in as a liner. It just seems funny someone is giving up on something as simple to maintain as the gutter cleaner because it is to difficult. The only real expensive item on the whole thing is the chain, I know it is over 20 bucks a foot. but for the rest, just fix it as it requires repair or replacement, just like you do your tractors or combine.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
