FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which manual chute is best for small herds?
For ranchers starting out or managing smaller herds, entry-level manual chutes like the Arrowlock 33, 55, or 75 Series provide reliable, low-stress cattle handling without the higher cost of hydraulics.
Can I buy a right-hand Arrowlock cattle chute?
Yes. Arrowlock chutes can be ordered right-handed or converted later with a kit.
Can I switch the working side after I’ve ordered it?
Yes, you can convert the head gate and chute squeeze with a conversion kit after you have ordered it.
Can I make my manual squeeze chute portable?
Yes. Most manual chute models can be fitted with a Wheel Kit to create a portable chute.
What’s the difference between a manual and hydraulic cattle chute?
Manual cattle chutes tend to be more affordable, lever-operated, and ideal for small to mid-size herds. Hydraulic chutes use powered controls for faster, low-effort handling, making them better for larger herds and high-volume operations.
HYDRAULIC CATTLE CHUTES
A hydraulic cattle chute uses hydraulic controls to operate the head gate, tail gate, squeeze, and head sweep. The best designs promote low-stress cattle handling, with durable, quiet operation and engines positioned away from the animal’s line of sight to reduce noise, prevent spooking, and improve safety for both cattle and handlers.

What are the advantages of a hydraulic chute?
Hydraulic cattle chutes provide faster, smoother operation with less physical effort from the handler, making them ideal for larger herds and frequent processing.
Is a hydraulic squeeze chute worth the investment?
Yes. For ranchers with bigger herds, the time savings, reduced labor, and improved cattle flow typically make hydraulic chutes a cost-effective choice.
What should the PSI on my hydraulic chute be set at?
Most hydraulic chutes run best between 750–1000 PSI, with 900 PSI being the sweet spot for smooth, safe operation.
Can I run a hydraulic chute directly off my tractor?
Yes. With the proper Tractor Hook-Up kit, you can power your hydraulic chute using your tractor’s hydraulics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why choose a portable cattle handling system?
Portable cattle systems provide flexibility for ranchers who work across multiple pastures or remote locations. They’re designed for durability, easy transport, and fast setup while maintaining the same low-stress handling principles as stationary systems.
How many cattle can a portable corral system hold?
Capacity depends on the model, but most Arrowquip Heeler Portable Corrals can safely hold up to 35 pairs at a time. Each setup is engineered to maintain smooth cattle flow and prevent overcrowding.
How fast can I tow a portable system?
By regulation, all farm equipment—including portable handling systems—must be towed at or below 25 mph (40 km/h). This ensures safe transport and prevents damage to your unit.
Can I use scales with a portable handling system?
Yes, but scales must be placed under an 8' Easy Flow Alley section using a Cattle Weigh Platform. This ensures accurate readings and maintains proper system balance during use.
Do portable cattle handling systems come with solar panels?
Yes, select models, like the 800 Series, feature hydraulic jacks powered by a military-grade solar panel that keeps the battery charged and ready for use in any condition.
Are Arrowquip portable systems durable enough for daily use?
Absolutely. Every Arrowquip portable system is built from high-strength steel with reinforced joints and stress points. They’re engineered for ranchers who need mobility without sacrificing longevity or cattle safety.

A cattle crowding tub helps move livestock smoothly from the holding area into the alley or chute while improving handler control. Modern low-stress designs encourage natural cattle movement, reduce pressure and stress, and can often be operated by a single person for greater efficiency and safety.

What is the purpose of a cattle tub?
A cattle tub funnels cattle from a pen into an alley or chute. Its circular design works with cattle’s natural instincts, making handling easier and safer.
How many cattle can fit in a tub at once?
Most tubs hold 3–5 head comfortably. Smaller groups reduce stress and improve cattle flow through your system.
What is the difference between a BudFlow® and a Crowding Tub?
A BudFlow tub uses cattle’s natural behavior to re-enter where they came from, guiding them calmly into the alley. A Crowding Tub relies on a sweep gate to move cattle forward.
Can cattle tubs connect to other handling equipment?
Absolutely. Tubs are designed to integrate directly with alleys, chutes, and full cattle handling systems for seamless flow.

Are cattle panels and gates portable?
Yes. Panels and gates can be quickly set up, taken down, or moved to different locations, making them versatile for both permanent and temporary setups.
How do I choose the right panel or gate?
The best choice depends on your herd size and use. Heavy-duty panels are recommended for larger livestock, while lighter options can work for calves or smaller herds.
Can panels and gates connect to other Arrowquip equipment?
Yes. Corral panels and cattle gates are designed to integrate seamlessly with alleys, tubs, and chutes, allowing you to build a complete cattle handling system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the purpose of an adjustable cattle alley?
Adjustable alleys can be narrowed or widened to fit calves through to large bulls, ensuring smoother flow and reducing animal stress.
How wide should a cattle alley be?
A cattle alley should be wide enough for cattle to pass but narrow enough to prevent them from turning around. Adjustable designs give you flexibility for all sizes.
Can Easy Flow cattle alleys connect to other Arrowquip equipment?
Yes. Alleys are designed to connect seamlessly with tubs, chutes, and other handling equipment to create a complete cattle handling system.
How do I install scales in my cattle alley?
Scale mount plates and load bars can be installed under the alley. Arrowquip alleys are compatible with platforms that make weighing cattle simple and accurate.
Do cattle prefer curved or straight alleys?
Cattle move well in both when designed properly. The key is solid sides, correct width, and low-stress handling techniques—not just the alley’s shape.

For more information on what accessory is right for you, visit our accessories page or get in touch with our livestock experts today.
What keeps cattle from going down in the chute?
A sternum bar supports the chest so cattle stay upright, reducing risk of injury and speeding up processing.
Can I replace my hydraulic Head Sweep with a manual Head Holder?
Yes, the Head Sweep on your Powerlock cattle chute can be replaced with a manual Head Holder at a later date. However, the Head Holder cannot be replaced with a Head Sweep at a later date, as the Head Sweep is mounted on the hydraulic control arm and must be installed at the factory.
What scale systems can I use with Arrowquip squeeze chutes?
Currently, our chutes are compatible with Gallagher and Tru-Test scales.
Do cattle chute add-ons fit all models?
Not always. Many add-ons are model-specific or depend on left/right orientation and hydraulic or manual setups. Check compatibility or use the correct conversion kit. If you're ever unsure, connect with our team.
How does a head holder make handling cattle easier?
It stabilizes the animal’s head, so tagging, vaccinating, doctoring eyes/mouth, and checking ID can be done faster and safer with less movement and less stress.
