Subject: RE: Livestock scales


North Dakota
We have had to replace both load cells already. Now they are more than a couple years old and the new ones look like they are built better. It seems to never weigh right. You can stand on each corner and get different weights. Stand on the front reads one weight then #50 more on the back. The last time we replaced a load cell things worked pretty good. Then we were weighing cows this fall and a cow walked out of the chute as if she was readying the scale head and some how caught the cable with her nose. Cable slipped down her neck till she thought she was roped, then headed for the back door. Needless to say the scale head just about beat her out the door before the cable tore in 2. Ordered new load cell and now it seems all over the board. This chute is set up inside and we clean it often. I've probably had it 15 years and gave never been happy with it as far as accuracy goes.
