Where can I buy a manual squeeze chute?
The 16 manual squeeze chutes here are listed at Ackerman's, Farm and Ranch Store, Howard Stores, Linn Post and Pipe, NRS and Tractor Supply.
How does a manual squeeze chute work?
You close the headgate and squeeze the sides with levers. There is no pump or motor, so it works anywhere and needs little upkeep beyond grease and checking latches.
Who should buy a manual chute?
Herds under about 150 head where two people work cattle together. Past that, or when one person works alone, hydraulic starts to pay back.
Which manual chute has the longest warranty?
The Arrowquip 8700 and 8800 carry 15 years. The Arrowquip 7500 carries 10 years plus lifetime on locks and floor.

The Arrowquip 8800 at 145 in., then the W-W Beefmaster XL at 114 in. and the Tarter Series 9 at 111 in.
Is a self-catch headgate worth it on a manual chute?
For one person, usually yes: the headgate closes as the animal pushes through. Several chutes here, such as the Priefert S0191 and S04, switch between manual and self-catch.
Can I add hydraulics to a manual chute later?
Generally no. Hydraulic chutes are built around the cylinders and pump. Plan for hydraulic up front if you expect to grow past about 150 head.
