Lightweight Aluminum Cattle Chute
This lightweight aluminum cattle chute weighs only 145 lbs. and folds down to 12 in. high for quick and easy transport. It's great for grooming show cattle on the road or for working cattle in remote areas.
The 7-ft. long, 34-in. wide, 6-ft. 4-in. high chute is made from sq. steel tubing and can be equipped with an optional aluminum checkerboard floor.The floor is laid on cross members at the bottom of the chute, with the animal's weight holding the floor in place. An inexpensive plywood sheet can be used in place of the aluminum floor. A ratchet at the top of the chute is used to open or close the headgate.
The chute collapses by removing two bolts and pulling the two top bars and sidebars out. Sells for $945 with floor and $835 without floor (Canada). (Doug Sproull, Sproull Custom Fabricating, Box 24024, Penticton, B.C., Canada V2A 8L9 ph 604 493-0369)
