Quite the contraption. Getting a good price?

$1300 - The OEM sells them through Tennessee COOP and they get a little over $2000 plus this one has a couple of options that runs another $300 - so yes we did get a good price.

Sorry about Jerry, but obviously it wasn't meant to be, for whatever the reason and this other one may end up being the better fit for ya. Sounds like quite the deal on the machine....it would be interesting to see it in "Action".

We use one similar to it at our ewes original farm and they turn some 'chores' into a simple thing. This one is quite a bit better as it has a self closing head gate and more adjustments depending on the size of the sheep being worked plus more access panels to get to the sheep (even if upside down).

Very nice looks like it will be a great farm.

Thanks @Gorman Farm and may I welcome you to the forum.

Wow! that thing will be quite handy to have, no doubt. 
Looks like the cadillac of chutes... I'm sure it will prove very worthwhile to have. It does look like it will be needing the FEL on the tractor to move it though... it looks very substantial.

It's under 300 pounds but yes we will be using the FEL to move it around. They sell a wheel kit for the thing but that's over $1000 and you still need the FEL to get it on the trailer so we won't be getting that accessory.

Besides, I think most people set up their operation so the squeeze chute isn't moved around.
