Call me strange but I like hanging out in the shop. I worked at an autobody repair for many years and just loved it. Before that I would hang with a group of motorheads. Find me in the garage.
I have a squeeze chute similar to that that I need to get in my shop to work on. Swapping the self catch head lock to my scissor action head lock and rear control. Nice work Tyler
Thank you Brad. From what I see, the self catching head gates seem like they still let the animal toss it’s head a lot. I’ve never actually used on though. I think going to the scissor style is a smart choice and I hope you post videos on it!
Yeah, plus the self catch need to be adjusted per animal size. With the scissor style I can run cows and calves thru at the same time. I'm sure I will make a video of it!
Yes I agree. One of my future projects I want to do on my Powder River chute in the corral is put in new body bars on it that are curved. Similar to what Priefert does, but better! I think it would make it easier for them to get through and I also think it would hold them both more comfortably and securely. I’m also thinking of how I can modify the head gate so it’s easier for them to exit the chute. Always lots to do right? Thanks for watching!
Nice job! Chute is coming along nicely. I need to refurb our calf table at some point like this. The head catch has a lot of slop which has resulted in a few escapes!
I'm interested in cattlemen and ranchers but why am I watching sparks fly, and this Farmer/Rancher guy welding and fitting metal together to make a chute? (Kinda cool.)
👍👍👍 measure twice cut once right? The old saying not for me lol I measure 9 times and cut 11 times lol when you done with it before you sell it you should weld your initials on it some where
Thank you. Yes it certainly can! It took me awhile to figure that out but now I test fit a few times before final welding. I hate grinding and re-welding! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching BTO!
I like that your 45'd your tubing. I always try and do that in permanent applications. The 90 degree jig is friggen awesome too!! I need to get one. What are you using for grinding down your welds? A grinder wheel or flapper wheel? I like to use 120 grit flapper.
Thanks Chris yeah I’d rather spend the time doing a 45 than capping the end of the tube. All I know is if I leave it open, wasps will inevitably build a nest in there! I’ve always preferred flap wheels in probably 90% of applications. They don’t last as long, but I like the way they work much better. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh and about the jig, I bought that online from Northern Tool. It’s built nice and heavy and the threaded rod is copper I think? Some kind of metal that spatter won’t stick to anyway. I used to have one from Tractor Supply but it broke on the first or second project so I don’t suggest that one!
That's good to know! I've always had good luck with Norther tool. I use flapper wheels a LOT. They leave a nice finish and don't throw carbon everywhere. They also handle better in the tool. Thanks for the info on the clamp!
I don’t know the brand name off hand but I ordered it from Northern Tool. They only sell that one so should be easy enough to find. It is nice, and heavy too! Should last a lifetime, the threaded rod is even made out of copper too so spatter doesn’t mess up the threads
I actually first learned in high school metal shop. Since then it’s just been a lot of practice and home research. At my current off farm job I do a lot of welding and fab work so that practice has helped. There are great resources on TH-cam. “Welding Tips and Tricks” is a GREAT instructional channel for all processes. If you’re wanting to up your game, I highly recommend that channel! Thanks for watching
Well yes and no. It was his, after he died my grandma sold it, then I bought it back from that guy (family friend). So now it’s mine but it’s actually an NAA also known as a Jubilee. I’m in the process of collecting parts to get it fixed up nice.
1950-53 was called a Jubilee with 1953 being the “Golden Jubilee”. It was the 50th anniversary in ‘53 thus the added “Golden”. Mine is a 1953, love that tractor. That’s actually the very first tractor I ever drove so it has a lot of sentimental value to me. Video series coming soon!
Good instructional video. Enjoyed watching you use the 90 corner bracket & showing the reason. Measure twice & weld once!
Thank you Ardurbin. That little 90 degree clamp has saved me a lot of time and guesswork over the years! Thanks for watching

Hey that’s not strange at all. Thanks Debra!

Yeah that wouldn’t work for me either! Looking forward to the video
Tyler you messed up unbelievable well that make you human hope I didn't bust your bubble to much lol nice job can't wait to see it finished.
I know can you believe it?? That’s just not like me haha! I can’t wait to see it done either, thanks for watching Roger!
Great job hey. The bad thing about most chutes is that they form a V from topto bottom. Bigger animals have trouble getting through IMO.

Any time love the vids. We use a powder river also. But the vet brings a foremost.

Thanks Floyd Farms! One of those projects that’s easy to put off but once you finally do it you’ll be so glad it’s done!

Measure twice cut once...yeah I’ve heard about that somewhere! Thanks Blake I like that idea I think I will do it
Pretty funny dude. Live n learn.
Great video I enjoy watching people building or repairing things. New to your channel and have enjoyed watching the videos great job keep it up.
Thank you Arden i appreciate that and I’m glad you’re enjoying things so far!
Good job Tyler 👍 that tack welding and fitting can save a lot of aggravation thru the manufacturing process can't it 😁
Thank you. Yes it certainly can! It took me awhile to figure that out but now I test fit a few times before final welding. I hate grinding and re-welding! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching BTO!
I don’t think the cows will break it now. Thanks for sharing.Have a good one
Yeah I hope not. Maybe bend it but not break it! Thanks Jacky
Been there to many times to admit, we do it right because we do twice. LOL
I like that! I almost edited around my mistake but then I thought, no we’re going to leave it in because that’s real life! Thanks for watching HHF!
Thx

One question, what brand is that clamp you were using when you were fitting it all up pre tack?Looked like a nice clamp for clamping 90 degree
I don’t know the brand name off hand but I ordered it from Northern Tool. They only sell that one so should be easy enough to find. It is nice, and heavy too! Should last a lifetime, the threaded rod is even made out of copper too so spatter doesn’t mess up the threads
Cool, I will search it. I have a bunch of feeder panels to make this coming year and I think a couple of those would sure be handy! Thanks
Did you go to school to learn to weld or just farm taught? I can weld and get to hold but they aren't always pretty.

Plasma cutter🤔
Ding ding ding!
Is that your grandpas 8N Ford in your shop?

That makes it a 1953 I'm almost certainly positive
