| There is a good thread down below. My observation is that cattle work a bit easier through the newer squeeze chutes ... err... hug machines. I think a lot of it has to do with the new hydraulic chutes don't clang and rattle so much. One guy can stand off to the side and run all the chute controls with his hand. Don't have to lean in close with all your weight to close the headgate or squeeze. The vet powers his chute with hydraulics from an idling pickup. Neighbor has one runs off tractor remotes. Cows are used to pickups and tractors which has a calming effect.
